I much prefer the city to Canary Wharf. The Square mile's full of visionary and ground breaking highrises, Canary Wharf just imitates crappy American skyscrapers that are essentially glorified glass boxes.
Frankfurt probably edges London on having the best skyline in europe although london has lots of buildings or skyscrapers around the city like the 'Ghrekin' for example which is either fantastic or horrible to look at, just like actual ghrekins! Places like Paris, Rome and Barcelona strive on historic architecture but places like New York and Tokyo for example are well known for their more modern approach to their infrastructure, London is in the middle; which probably makes it what it is!
@TheLegendOfTroll Frankfurt does not have more or higher skyscrapers...You do realise canary wharf is not the only skyscrapers in London? There are much more in the city, and the shard london bridge is the tallest building in europe...Frankfurt is full of mid 80s crap
@will101page ehhhh no... look on wikipedia...frankfurt has the most and highest skyscrapers in the european union...and at least frankfurt is a real skyscraper city and not like shitty london with a few skyscrapers in the one corner and a few more a few kilometers away in the other corner, no density...and look at canary wharf...all just boxy buildings...
frankfurts is a million times better then your shitty rainy london
@TheLegendOfTroll aww whats wrong? Somebody jealous of London being the greatest city of the world? lol, London is financial capital, and has much more skyscrapers than shitty frankfurt. Look on wikipedia, u will see that the shard of glass under construction in london is 310m, tallest in europe, frankfurts tallest is 259m. London has loads of 200m+ under construction, canary wharf is not even the main cluster of skyscrapers, the city of london is. Google Bishopsgate tower, you will be impressed
@TheLegendOfTroll London is simply the greatest city in the world. I am half american and I have lived in NYC and London is the best city in the world, i have traveled EVERYWHERE including shitty frankfurt
@TheLegendOfTroll What an ignorant comment, what are you a kid? There is more to see and do in London than anywhere else, and it is by far the most exiting city in the world, more so than NYC. London is beautiful, the weather is not that bad, And it is the greatest city in the world, i have traveled everywhere. All the history and culture, food, shopping and beautiful architecture in one city, Plus, its financial capital of the world, I would not post comments like that without visiting london
@will101page you clearly dont know what you are talking about...finacial capital of the world? frankfurt is the seat of the european central bank and the frankfurt stock exchange merged with the new yorker nasdaq and is now with new york the financial capital of the world you stupid moron. look on google for pictures of frankfurt skyline and london skyline....you will see that frankfurt has higher and waaaaay more skyscrapers...and they look better...not that boxy and boring like london
@TheLegendOfTroll in actual fact, London has more skyscrapers than Frankfurt, and more under construction. And canary wharf is only one of London's skylines, the city is the other main one, an there are other smaller ones across the city. and London is the largest financial centre in the world, just ahead of New York (slightly). plus, London is one of just two alpha++ cities in the world, Frankfurt is far behind London in every aspect of being a city (apart from skyline maybe, that's quite nice)
@TheLegendOfTroll look, london's the financial capital of europe, and the world alongside new york. those are FACTS. do you know what FACTS are? its when something is actually ture instead of pure bullshit, like you sprout out of your retarded mouth. london has 12 skyscrapers, frankfurt has 10. and london is building a lot more at the moment. have you been to london? i dont think you have. youre obviously jelous that frankfurt is a third tier city and could never be as good as london.
@TheLegendOfTroll no it isnt, its fact. thats why thats all you said, because you know its true and you cant hack it. i assume you troll on all kinds of videos, but you have been defeated. i have won. accept you have been beaten by the the master, you have been crushed under the weight of my argument.
@TheLegendOfTroll are you serious... so Frankfurt skyline is better than that of Paris or London ? and New York and London are the financial capitals of the world no argument.
Dimbleby is absolutely bang on the money here. Polegate is magnificent. It makes Canary Wharf look like an embarassment. Small wonder the world's elite flock to Polegate to make their fortunes. Make no mistake, Polegate will soon be the centre of the financial world, and New York little more than a clown with shit shoes on.
i am from the us and we owe our western culture mainly to europe and england in particular. i think this video is amazing. the way the skyline is shown at 1:03 - 2:00. inspiring, really, that a city with so much history, can also be as modern as it is.
3:24 'most of us live somewhere like this' have you forgotten about all the unfortunate buggars living in council estates and tower blocks in south and east london, same goes for any other inner city area, you have to be fucking wealthy in today's world to afford a nice little cottage in the countryside. What a fucking prick.
Canary Wharf is amazing I went into 1 Canada Square or Canary Wharf Tower, I went with my Dad, He works on the 46 floor the view is astonishing, just Breath-Taking.I couldn't believe the view.
we stayed at the Ramada(nice) right on the thames river, then went into Canary Wharf and London via tube, even though we went at Christmas(to see a concert) and it was cold but it was fun and memorable anyway.(american tourist)
i worked on the roofs of some of those buildings when they were being built 36 floors up scary stuff, the view was brilliant though. was there around the time of 9/11 and with city airport so close was even worse!
Nothing very beautiful about Polegate"? I disagree. Looks very charming, well-built and substantial even if a bit disorganized. Reminds me a little of New England towns. I like it. It's middle class suburban England as most of us Americans like to envision it.
@DFDalton1962 i live near polegate. Some part is nice & then there is an estate that is a bit pikeyfied, but its probably the nicest part of eastbourne/eastsussex. then again, everywhere you go there will always be a part that's rough.
Ultimately theres no point to this docummentary, some people like inner city living, a lot don't but like to be able to access a core centre for work and or entertainment. It goes without saying. This documentary is about 30yrs too early, perhaps when there is actually a substantial collection of tall buildings just for a metropolis of this size, it may be worth glorifying them.
@atraherne Clearly you fail to appreciate the history of the Docklands and why its transformation is amazing. Especially in context of the centre of London and how it lost its crown to the east of London, known for its deprived areas.
A lot of drama over a few average towers, wait, "mini manhatten" as if the rest of the world, or America for that matter was void of them.
Why is he then going into suburbia and comparing it to an office district?
Yeah, at current times most people prefer suburbern housing, whether that be suburbia within a big metropolis, or slightly more isolated (lets not forget this is Britain, most places have a large radious population even if you are living in a small town on the south coast.
@atraherne@atraherne Clearly you fail to appreciate the history of the Docklands and why its transformation is amazing. Especially in context of the centre of London and how it lost its crown to the east of London, known for its deprived areas.
@erzan Clearly you do appreciate them. I think you need to get out more, if a bunch of average buildings that home the banks that drove the country into major debt and deprivation excites you and feeds your soul / ego with joy then good luck to you.
i live in london and to all those people who are saying its amazing.. it REALLY isnt its just a littered horrible place with stupid people walking around.
@AaMz112 depends on where you live, if you live in poor areas you will end up with rude and ignorant foreigners. London is a huge city so basically you can't criticise the whole as bad because of one place. Places like Chelsea, Kensington, Hammersmith, Fulham, Westminster, and Greenwich boroughs are nice to live, but they may be expensive too. Most people live in these boroughs are middle class people. Same thing in New York, South Bronx can be a rough place to live, but Manhattan is fantastic.
@marmiusic yes but London dosen't have the sufficient subsoils to cater for tall builds, and the american cities are modern and were in need of that architecture.
@marmiusic true but thank god london won the olympics because now atleast the goverment is spending money moderining london which it woudnt have done with it there area few skyscapers cuming up such as the shard which is 1,017 and the pinnacle which is the second tallest in london which would be 288mt there are several more such as a building called the heron tower and cheese greater look on google
@marmiusic we know, but for us brits its exciting cus they're all we have:P and london has a special feel about it, where new meets old. we are getting the tallest in europe soon:)
Very, very lovely ... especially seeing Polegate. It's nice that you (in the UK) still use masonary in new construction, and haven't resorted to the horrible construction practice in the USA of using vinyl siding (PVC) to build your homes.
@1234567loading it a piece of beutiful acritecture to represent britain being pushed into the 21st century, no new world order, just the same old twats telling us what to do
Thankfully Londons very careful about where skyscrapers are placed. Nobody cares if new buildings are added to Canary Wharf because there aren't any major historical sites too close except over in Greenwich. You'll never see a large skyscraper built in Westminster thankfully.
hope london turns into a manhatten style, but with the charm of london, you know brand new stupidly tall builidings but then stuff like st pauls pops up, you know what makes london london, but if more buildings like wharf go up, it's only positive!
@hurro67 new york is cool, but the shard fits in very well with london, has construction stopped or somethin cos it dosn't seem to be goin up, the shard that is
@boltjet135 thats the floors, but not the glass outer layer. The whole building is a "shard of glass". It's 23ft taller than the eiffel tower. It will be the tallest building in Europe and i think the 27th tallest in the world :)
Without London, there is no life.......a man thinks London is boring his life is boring, countries like the US wouldnt have been if for England, we discovered this world!
i will never forget the day that bomb went off though i was only lik 5 remember the noise till this day. but i hope people dont think things are posh down there cause its not canary wharfs like a posh oasis in the middle of it all but i guess they are doing a good job fixing up the best but most ghetto part of London, EAST with the olympic site coming, stratford city to be another canary wharf type thing a few miles north fixing up canning town also things r changin nuff round ere.
it seems weird how things have changed without even noticing, born in homerton but raised in my early years in isle of dogs nan lived in poplar so both our homes were on both sides of canary wharf but back then it was only canary wharf standing when i moved back to hackney two more were starting to go up HSBC n the other 1 the thing is the area is really poor and its like an island of posh buisness in the middle of it all n i think they gonna get rid of the poor people some how raisinghousepirce
@addz91 Some people actually need them - You should try driving through a muddy field in a Toyota Prius and see what happens to you, for goodness sake.
@addz91 Oh, and I suppose you suggest dragging a trailer full of feed or animals by hand through a field, do you? No, a 4x4 is an absolute necessity when you work on a farm.
@zcheeseolly I can't see this guy lugging around in a field, or in that case working on a field. He is driving leisurely for a video on NORMAL roads. If it was work then a work car is required, but this driving is evidently for a video.
@bertyUK You're correct, plenty of ''fat, lazy people'' in small cars, but you don't see videos of them talking about a fabulous city whilst polluting the city with their pollution machine.
Hi Glaxev,i mean that Europe is an old continent,full of building from 200,300 years ago,European countries have an "old style" while canary wharf folows a japanes,new york style.I don ´t mean I prefer modern or old things,I love Europe because Europe is old,but it´s incredible to see a completely different kind of building in an European city.Europe is amazing in general...
This place gives me the creeps. Nothing human here.

Thankfully Londons very careful about where skyscrapers are placed. Nobody cares if new buildings are added to Canary Wharf because there aren't any major historical sites too close except over in Greenwich. You'll never see a large skyscraper built in Westminster thankfully.

hope london turns into a manhatten style, but with the charm of london, you know brand new stupidly tall builidings but then stuff like st pauls pops up, you know what makes london london, but if more buildings like wharf go up, it's only positive!

@boltjet135 No not manhattan style, London style. Shard London bridge.

@hurro67 new york is cool, but the shard fits in very well with london, has construction stopped or somethin cos it dosn't seem to be goin up, the shard that is
boltjet135 1 year ago
@boltjet135 The shards gone up alot, i think its coming up to half way.

@hurro67 is that just the core or the floors included, is ment for complition in 2012 or somethin
boltjet135 1 year ago
@boltjet135 thats the floors, but not the glass outer layer. The whole building is a "shard of glass". It's 23ft taller than the eiffel tower. It will be the tallest building in Europe and i think the 27th tallest in the world :)

i will never forget the day that bomb went off though i was only lik 5 remember the noise till this day. but i hope people dont think things are posh down there cause its not canary wharfs like a posh oasis in the middle of it all but i guess they are doing a good job fixing up the best but most ghetto part of London, EAST with the olympic site coming, stratford city to be another canary wharf type thing a few miles north fixing up canning town also things r changin nuff round ere.

@addz91 Some people actually need them - You should try driving through a muddy field in a Toyota Prius and see what happens to you, for goodness sake.

@zcheeseolly Then my suggestion is walk through the field
addz91 1 year ago
@addz91 Oh, and I suppose you suggest dragging a trailer full of feed or animals by hand through a field, do you? No, a 4x4 is an absolute necessity when you work on a farm.
zcheeseolly 1 year ago
@zcheeseolly I can't see this guy lugging around in a field, or in that case working on a field. He is driving leisurely for a video on NORMAL roads. If it was work then a work car is required, but this driving is evidently for a video.

@addz91 I'm not talking about him, I was talking on behalf of 4x4 driver's who need their vehicles; I agree that he may not need it.

Hi Glaxev,i mean that Europe is an old continent,full of building from 200,300 years ago,European countries have an "old style" while canary wharf folows a japanes,new york style.I don ´t mean I prefer modern or old things,I love Europe because Europe is old,but it´s incredible to see a completely different kind of building in an European city.Europe is amazing in general...
