Yeah, this has nothing at all to do with that film franchise.. I'm just following on from the title of yesterday's deviation. [link] I dunno.. flies probably can't even get up this high!

Anyway, this is a bird's eye view of the expansion of the model I made a couple of years ago of central London. [link]

The model now stretches from Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace in the west all the way over to the Excel Centre and beyond in the east.

The central area includes a few buildings that are planned for the near future, although thanks to the whole credit thing a few of them are now delayed or on the verge of being canceled.

At the time of the original modeling this was reflecting London as it was expected to look in 2011. It’s hard to say how far off this vision is now. Bit of a shame, but at least the most exciting buildings look like they'll still be built. We'll just have to do without the mobile phone and the boomerang, and make do with a slightly smaller cheese grater.
