London's changing skyline

Peter P came across this panorama shot on SkyscraperCity.net which shows what the London skyline might look like in a very few years' time. It was put together in 2007 so it's rather out of date, but fascinating nonetheless.

The original photograph was taken from a block of flats in Forest Hill.

The person who created it writes:

Every cluster can be seen here - from Battersea to Lambeth, Westminster, Elephant & Castle, Southwark, The City, right the way through to Greenwich, Canary Wharf and the Docklands.

I used Google Earth to get some of the heights and locations accurate. There are probably some midrises and smaller towers I've left off, but the important ones are all there. More than 50% of what you see here either has planning permission, or is undergoing demolition/construction work.

To be honest, it's more like 2015 than 2012... I've included things like the Broadgate Centre expansion, Bishopsgate Goodsyard, Heron Quays West, Vauxhall Bondway, etc. which are longer term developments. Anyway, this is the largest rendering I've ever done.
