Create a London skyline from memory or using your imagination. Use craft materials to make it come to life.

Imagine you’re standing on top of Canary Wharf. What can you see?

London’s skyline has continued to change since the city began. From the historic City, watched over by St Paul’s Cathedral and The Monument, to the new and exciting shapes that tower above the city, London is always changing.

Our skyline can also look different depending on where we are and where we live. Draw and colour a skyline inspired by what you can see around you or let your imagination take over.

Who knows what London’s skyline might look like in the future?
