The Guardian has put together a cleverly interactive projection of the ever-changing London skyline and how new construction of larger and taller buildings will fit into the mix. Such modern constructs as The Gherkin, The Shard, The Leadenhall Building (“the Cheesegrater”), The Heron Tower, and 20 Fenchurch Street (“the Walkie-Talkie”) have most recently made their mark on London, but it appears that there is much more to follow.

London’s skyline is set to get a lot more crowded over the coming years as recent additions such as the Gherkin and Shard are joined by more than 200 tall towers proposed, approved or already under construction.
