Barbara Weiss: "The city is at serious risk of losing forever its unique and distinctive character. We are at a watershed moment in the history of London. If we do not put an end to all the reckless experimentation, if we do not take action, there will very soon be no turning back...."
"The tall buildings sprouting up all over London are the result of inept planning and haphazard urban design. Many of them are being built in highly inappropriate and sensitive locations, dwarfing the city's historic landmarks and blighting low-rise surroundings for miles, introducing a toxic mix of commercialism and bling that is already greatly compromising the reserved and unique beauty of our capital...."
"While the incongruiry of scale of these new buildings is offensive, there is also the great regret that the architectural quality is so depressingly low. The gratuitous licorice-allsorts shapes reflect developers' and architects' obsession with iconic buildings, as they shout out 'look at me' at the top of their voices. Even materials used, often glass and steel, are inappropriate in London, belonging to cities with different backgrounds and identities...."
"It is outrageous that Londoners have not been given a choice in the matter...."
"It is time for London to wake up and say no."
