To celebrate the 50th edition of New London Quarterly, we thought it would be a good idea to ask 50 of built environment’s brightest and best one simple question: ‘What is the best thing about London?’ This week's response comes from Brandon Buck, Design Director, Associate Principal Perkins and Will.

The best thing about London is its history. Around every street corner sits a rich juxtaposition between old and new architecture, snapshots chronicling the past. St Paul’s Cathedral is an important example, not only for the role it has played in the City’s history, but also its enduring influence on the built environment, to this day governing height limitations in the City and its surroundings.
