I lived in Tokyo for about 10 years and returned home only to find London's skyline has probably now surpassed it. Both have that old meets new thing - great when you get a temple/shrine or church/castle in the foreground with a skyscraper in the background. Still... Tokyo is a much easier place to live on a low-middle income!
I love the London skyline All these amazing modern skyscrapers mixed with the older historic buildings I also like how all the skyscrapers due to the viewing corridors have to be all different shapes
Beautiful video! I love London too and ave visited many times, but never thought I was going to get to see it like this - drone cameras really have revolutionized location filming! Thank you! 🌹🌹 /Louise, Sweden
Yeah it was a first of its kinds. There's some issues with vibration from them but hopefully they will sort in other versions of it but it does look cool
Those turbines are now redundant! Apparently, those residents living at the top found the noise generated by them (turbines) unbearable, so they were permanently turned off.
London has beautiful historic buildings and brutal, ugly, historic buildings AND a few skyscrapers that are well designed and unique while also having mundane, run-of-the-mill skyscrapers that look like shoeboxes in the sky. So long as emerging skyscrapers are designed with the highest quality and don’t look out of place, London in the future will be a beautiful city that harmonises old and new in perfect synergy.
That's what I love about London can see the old and new right next to eachother. But your right exceptional design is needed for new building not mediocrity
There's some amazing building that I try and capture here like One Blackfriars which is a stunning building. But will be interesting to see how the skyline develops. They need to keep a tight grip on only letting the best be built
Guess it depends which part your in. Like the fact there's a mix of really old historic parts like my St Pancras video and then some super modern glass skyscraper areas
It's because of a law stopping building being built taller than St Pauls cathedral. The laws have been relaxed now but some of the skyscraper shapes are still dictated by the line of sight laws that still exists where you have to be able to see St Pauls from certain angles. It is also why London skyscrapers are generally in clusters together.
@@Aerial_Bruce Nothing to do with the height of St Pauls. The restriction is because of the London City airport. You are correct about the sight lines for St Pauls though.
Do you have a favourite architect or you just like what you like. I love the Zaha Hadid aesthetic, want to photograph the building from the London Olympics soon

That's what I still like about London. Lost of historic buildings next to modern glass skyscraper
I love the London skyline

That's what I find so interesting about London.
I love London because is where old meets new ❤
Like that St Pauls is still at the heart of the city after all this time even with the big skyscrapers it's always there

Thanks pleased you enjoyed the new perspective!
0:30. I remember when the NatWest Tower was the only skyscraper in London.
For a long time it was the tallest building in the UK. You wouldn't know that now looking at the rest of them around it
The skyscraper with the wind turbines on top is such a good idea. Free energy! And it looks cool too.
Yeah it was a first of its kinds. There's some issues with vibration from them but hopefully they will sort in other versions of it but it does look cool
@@Aerial_Bruce Seems like a lot of buildings could be fitted with these. So cool. Thanks

This is beautiful
Thank you very much. There is great variety of building in London which are fun to photograph

Gud London

Insane shots
Cheers!
Thank you Mr. Bruce. I must pay tribute to your skill. Concise, informative and very beautiful.
Thank you!
Beautiful London footage and music. Thank you for video sharing. Like 👍
Thank you too!
@@Aerial_Bruce You're welcome friend 🙂
A really good area to fly, which I missed!
It really is!
Beautiful video, which station is that in the beginning of the video?
Thanks. It's London Bridge station that was renovated after they built the Shard with the iconic new roof lines.
Good morning from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents

You should of waved at me through the window lol 😆😂 love the unique perspective of these skyscrapers being higher up
Should I feel proud as a civil engineer watching this
Well if you helped build any of them you should be. Some beautiful buildings in Londons skyline
❤❤❤
Thanks
good
Thanks!
I'm afraid that central London's skyline has lost some of its magic to bland pieces of architecture. Nice video though.
There's some amazing building that I try and capture here like One Blackfriars which is a stunning building. But will be interesting to see how the skyline develops. They need to keep a tight grip on only letting the best be built
The City of London is way to Futuristic.
Guess it depends which part your in. Like the fact there's a mix of really old historic parts like my St Pancras video and then some super modern glass skyscraper areas
Like in Disneyland 😂
No prince's palace though lol. Well suppose there's Buckingham Palace lol
@@Aerial_Bruce I hope that Kate is still alive and she is in Israel now.
London has not
High number of skyscrapers
Why tell me
It's because of a law stopping building being built taller than St Pauls cathedral. The laws have been relaxed now but some of the skyscraper shapes are still dictated by the line of sight laws that still exists where you have to be able to see St Pauls from certain angles.

Lots of history and building regulations.

some i adore others I hATE.
I personally love the more unusual and unique ones. But get it, they aren't everyone cup of tea lol
Do you have a favourite architect or you just like what you like. I love the Zaha Hadid aesthetic, want to photograph the building from the London Olympics soon
I like the unsual and unique ones. London is great for them.
❤❤❤❤❤
