"We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us." ~ Winston Churchill
The Way a Place Looks
How a city looks all depends on the type of buildings you find there. It's the first impression you get of a new place. Are the buildings new and modern with a multitude of windows? Or are they old and classic showing years of history in a single glance? Do they tower over you or are they squished into one space?
London is a mix of all these aspects. The new modern buildings blend into the old historic ones with ease. On one street you can see buildings from all ages of London's history. The buildings of Victorian times are still present today as are the designs for new buildings. Gothic styled buildings are still found throughout not only London but Europe as well, and the Victorian style of buildings is copied in many areas today.
