London Architecture

[jetski]

****note: I don't have the Beta patch applied ***

As a resident of the 'conurbation', I find some of the buildings really annoying. The problem is that they are "continental" and nothing like the Victorian Cubit Terrace styles or Georgian terace styles that dominate central London.

But there is one thing that is totally doing my head in, "Where is St Pauls Cathederal!!?" How come we don't have this iconic building, especially as it featured so heavily in the history of the Blitz? Is it a 'rights issue'? If the Church of England has objected to its presence, how come they are allowing Westminister Abbey?

We have University College (ok that's nice) but what about Regent's Street and Broadcasting House? Not forgetting the Brittish Museum and the Museums in Kensington.

and the docks... They might look like parkland nowadays, but if they had been so rural in WW2, I doubt the Germans would have tried so hard to bomb them.

What format would 3-D models have to be if we wanted to submit them to 1C?

That said, I have enjoyed landing a Tiger Moth and a Hurricane in the Mall (approaching from the east, over Traffalgar Square).
