Hmm, this and Sculpture in the City are causing me to give consideration to Urban walk ideas later in the year...
Thanks for the link!

I actually quite like that building - I like the ripple effect, which is quite clever.

However, maybe that's just in the context of Vauxhall/Nine Elms. We went through it last night and the area just looks awful. It is indeed a 'mess of skyscrapers'; it's even worse than Lewisham central and that's saying something! How on earth do town planners think this is acceptable?
The worst thing about the development of areas like this is the complete lack of pedestrian-friendliness.

We did part of that as an Urban walk earlier this year, although we started on the canal near King's Cross station, went through Camden and the north side of Regent's Park and exited for pubbage in St John's Wood - it's nice to walk along the canal there
