London's skyline is both iconic and always changing, with high-rise buildings continuously under construction to meet the ever-increasing demand to live in the bustling city.

Ambitious developers are lodging applications for innovative designs to follow the completion of the Shard, the Cheesegrater and other unique buildings in the capital in recent years.

It comes after the surprise rejection of The Tulip last year, a 'phallic-shaped' observation tower that would have soared over the City of London.

But other applications have had greater success, including the 260-metre Diamond building at 100 Leadenhall Street which is set to help form a 'mountain peak' formation of skyscrapers in the central cluster.

The 36-storey 50 Fenchurch Street will also add another dynamic to the central London skyline, including another public viewing platform providing views of the city.

The London skyline will continue to grow with the construction of three developments at 55, 70 and 85 Gracechurch Street

The current site at 216-220 Blackfriars Road comprises of almshouses owned by Southwark Charities, along with Prince William Henry pub, built in 1973.

The almshouses provide accommodation for elderly people who have lived in the borough for at least five years and are only charged for maintenance.
