New Images Reveal First Look At London Skyline In 2026
New images have been released showing a first look at how London's City Cluster skyline will look in 2026.
The City Cluster is the area in the eastern corner of the Square Mile and is home to some of London's most iconic skyscrapers.
The updated shots, including 100 Leadenhall Street, were published by the City of London Corporation amid two major consultations focused on the area and the wider City of London.
The Transport Strategy and Local Plan aim to help deliver a world-class public realm, make the city's streets an attractive space and promote sustainable growth.
Chris Hayward, Chairman of the Planning and Transportation Committee at the City of London Corporation, said: "These images remind us that the City's skyscrapers are some of the most recognisable structures in the UK. But great cities are not made from great buildings alone.
"The ambitious policy proposals outlined in the Transport Strategy and the Local Plan aim to resolve challenges at street level, and in the river, air and open spaces, as well as ensuring that City buildings and infrastructure are more robust than ever.
"These plans will play a central part in shaping the future of the City of London therefore it is vital that we hear from the local residents, workers and key stakeholders that will be impacted."
The Transport Strategy consultation closes on 13 January 2019 with the final version of the strategy due to be published in spring 2019.
The Local Plan is open for consultation until 28 February 2019, with drop-in sessions arranged throughout January and February.
