London's dominant modern skyline
When flying along the River Thames through London, marvel at some of the spectacular modern architecture now adorning our Capital.
The London Eye adjoins the Thames on the South Bank directly opposite the Houses of Parliament. Built and erected in March 2000 and standing at 450 feet tall, it is London's fifth tallest building. Each rotation of the wheel takes 30-minutes, thus moving at a massive 26cm per second or 0.6mph. Not for those who are looking a speed fix! The London Eye has 32 capsules holding a maximum of 800 persons, the equivalent of eleven London red double decker buses!
The Shard, adjacent to Tower Bridge on the South Bank, will be the tallest building in Western Europe standing at some 1,016 feet. Equipped with offices, world renowned restaurants, the 5-Star Shangri-la Hotel, exclusive residential apartments and London's highest viewing platform offering 360° views it is truly a remarkable site and completely transforming the London skyline.
The Gherkin, more appropriately known as 30 St Mary Axe. The Gherkin name has been adopted by the public due to the striking design of this imposing building within the City of London. Completely dominating the skyline of the City ( the Financial District ), the Gherkin is one of the highlights of the London helicopter tour.
Canary Wharf
The Canary Wharf complex located on the Isle of Dogs dominates the East End of London's skyline. Until recently Canary Wharf was Europe's tallest building, now superseded by the Shard.
The entire Canary Wharf site now includes 35 buildings, including high rise office complexes, three shopping malls, including 200 shops, and houses some 95,000 people in a diverse range of functions and activities.
The O2 Arena stands on the South bank of the Thames near to the Thames Barrier at Greenwich. Originally built by the Government ( and named the 'Millennium Dome )to celebrate the turn of a new millennium, it has since been bought privately and transformed into one of the World's most unique entertainment venues. The O2 Arena is a truly remarkable structure of unique design completely revitalizing a site which was home to hazardous waste! The O2 Arena complex has been further enhanced with hotels, restaurants, cinemas and auditorium.
