Recession or not, London still resembles a building site. From the Walkie Talkie and Cheese Grater in the City to the London Bridge development and St George Wharf Tower south of the river (and even Blackfriars Bridge in between), the capital continues to sprout funny shaped structures.
All the accoutrements of building sites — the cranes, the scaffolding and the unfinished steel and concrete — makes for great images. Completed skyscrapers dazzle us with their glass and steel, but works-in-progress are much more interesting to look up at.
