Design An Alternative London Skyline

MySkyLineLondon.jpg Not enough towers in the City for you? Get to play God Mayor with this neat London skyline designer. Using the view from Parliament Hill as your template, you can deftly bypass our city's labyrinthine planning processes and plonk down skyscrapers like so many giant traffic cones. Want to stick the finger up at English Heritage and block those protected viewing corridors? Then why not build eight Petronas Towers in front of St Paul's? Hate towers and want a flat city? No problem - one option is to bikini wax the skyline bare. Our new favourite waste of time comes from architectural illustrators Hayes Davidson, whose own stab at fantasy skyline creation includes a stonking great cluster in the West End and a transplantation of the BT Tower into the City.
