The Shell Centre looks like it belongs on an avenue in Manhattan. Another great video, all the best. 👍

I worked in three of the buildings featured in the late 70's & early 80's. The Stock Exchange, Drapers Gardens & the NatWest Tower

great video mate, appreciate the fact you went to all the locations in person, really puts all the towers into perspective. I live in Melbourne we got some cool buildings here check out 120 collins st. it's an 80's art deco design, I think it's like 240 meters tall of my head but I can't remember

It is interesting that unlike the US and other parts of the world London didn't have tall skyscrapers until the 60s..

Peter believe it or not there was actually laws in place to prevent tall buildings being built in London right up until the 1950's!!

@@pauladams6802 very interesting, that explains it all! How London has chanced ever since with regards to its skyscrapers, in particular in the last 10 years, is incredible! I know some people may not like that but I think in London given that many of those buildings have great designs and highs, it definitely makes the city look more modern and exciting from an architectural standpoint, given the wealth that it has, from old to super modern, so kudos to London!

London never had many tall buildings in numbers or height really, partly because of the London foundation's; views of st Paul's; and "low flying aircraft" They are Slightly more relaxed about it these days though as we see...
@pauladams68022 жыл бұрын
Paul I think it's because there's not much land to build on these days, any that becomes available always seems involve a tall building!
