London's skyline will change dramatically in the next 3 years. I thought i would share with you what i have found.
Currently One Canada Square is the tallest building in London standing at 235 meters tall, It's the 14th highest building in Europe. In 2012 that will no longer be true, The Shard and The Pinnacle will be taller. The Shard will be the tallest building in Europe standing at 310m! The Pinnacle will be 288m tall. They are only a couple of the projects currently going on in London. The architecture in 2012 will be fantastic, obviously not as amazing as Dubai but still great!
