Thanks. The skyline is likely to be protected soon, too. For several years the mayor (with whom I agree on many things, but not this), has been pushing to build very tall skyscrapers in London, in the face of much opposition. Recently the UN has smacked the UK's wrists for not protecting our World Heritage sites properly (I live in one!) and legislation is due which will protect the skylines of these sites. Hooray!
