Heading over the Millennium Bridge towards St Paul's is one of my favourite London walks. It's that mixture of full sky, the Canaletto effect of St Paul's itself - truly Venetian, and at the same time seeing a city in constant building flux.

The amount of construction happening, even now in when the country is still to fully appear out of the recession swap, is amazing.

I particularly like to look at the City; all those offices lit at night looking like the cross section of overly animated beehives, the winking cranes where skyscrapers are taking root, the din of jack hammers, and the sheer chaos of building styles: Gothic, corporate, eccentric, large, small, playful, austere.

Finally, I'm starting to really believe we are getting a skyline a city such as London merits.
