New CGI pictures of how the London skyline will look by the mid 2020s show 12 new skyscrapers towering over the City. The latest images of the Square Mile’s skyline have been released depicting familiar buildings such as the Cheesegrater and The Gherkin dwarfed by the new mega structures. A total of 13 huge new buildings are in the pipeline for the City of London as part of the authority s plan for 2036 - two of which have already been completed and a further 10 have been approved and are either being built or due to start work soon. Some of the buildings in the City seem to have been built into odd shapes - this is to make it still possible to view St Paul s Cathedral from Parliament Hill, Alexandra Palace, King Henry s Mound in Richmond and from Greenwich Park.
