London Architecture

If you go into London on any day I am 100% sure that you will see a large number of cranes. This means that numerous buildings are being built and that London architecture is improving a lot. But there are many rules that have to be considered when building a building. For example, if I'm an architect and want to build a new building and break one of the rules. That building is not permitted to be built. St Paul's cathedral is a very old and important building for London. Therefore it is a strict rule that you are no allowed to block the views of it with a building. So if you go to a place like Alexander Palace you are able to see St Paul's cathedral.

Currently lots of new and tall buildings are being built in London. When a building gets very tall it is called a skyscraper and there is an increasing number of them popping up around the city. The tallest one is called the Shard and is exactly 306m. Soon a new building called the Pinnacle is going to be built and is going to be about the same size as the Shard

My mother is the architect for a new building in Wandsworth called One Nine Elms.

Here is a puzzle of it.
