6 Iconic City Skylines and the Buildings That Define Them

London's skyline is defined by a mixture of grand, historic structures and soaring modern skyscrapers.

A fixture of the skyline since the late 1800s, London's Tower Bridge has allowed citizens to cross the River Thames for over a century. The Victorian Gothic suspension bridge even remained operational during the Blitz in World War II and continues to be one of the most popular sights in the city today. More modern landmarks include the Gherkin, a distinctive building named for being shaped like a pickle — and a reference that displays the Brits' penchant for dry humor. Within the same eyeline, the Shard is a 95-story pinnacle-shaped tower that is home to the highest habitable floor in the city (floor 72). And of course, the London Eye is unmissable — the 135-foot observation wheel, originally a temporary fixture for London's millennium celebration in 2000, provides some of the best panoramic views of the city.
