    The biggest performing arts centre in Europe.

  3. BT Tower
    A slender, cylindrical tower in London.

  4. City Hall
    Office of the Greater London Authority and the Mayor of London.

  5. Emirates Stadium
    Home of Arsenal Football Club.

  6. Millennium Bridge (2002)
    This is a footbridge built as part of the Millennium celebrations.

  7. Millennium Dome (O2)
    Large tent-like structure on the Greenwich peninsula.

  8. Paddington Waterside
    Urban redevelopment project at Paddington, described as the biggest urban redevelopment in Central London since the Second World War.

  9. Shard London Bridge
    New tallest skyscraper of London presently under construction.

  10. St George Wharf Tower
    Tallest residential building presently under construction in London.
