Description: London is in the midst of an unprecedented architectural boom, with around 510 tall towers — those with more than 20 stories — planned or under construction in the next decade. Much of this development will take place in the next two years. As new buildings spring up along the waterfront, residents are bracing for the sudden transformation of their neighborhoods. Forthcoming structures include a 26-story high-rise with a rock-climbing window and a mixed-used development with the world's first "floating" swimming pool. Here are nine of the most stunning skyscrapers that will transform the London skyline from 2020 to 2025. Last year’s tower tally of 510 is a rise of more than 12 per cent on the 455 recorded in 2016, according to New London Architecture’s annual count of buildings of at least 20 storeys (their definition of a skyscraper). Although more than two thirds of the towers in the pipeline are in inner London.More than 90 per cent of the tall buildings are residential and could deliver 106,000 new homes, according to the survey. About half of all the towers are in east London with 85 in Tower Hamlets and 70 in Greenwich.
