Architecture
London’s houses outside the centre
are built in a clear structure. One
street usually as a variety of single
houses all standing with the same
space between them. The single
houses usually have the same
structure: there is a front door, next to
it is a window which goes little into
the yard. Sometimes the door has a
porch door.
The centre of London is variously
designed with buildings of many
famous architects for example the
“Gherkin” designed by Norman Foster
or the “walkie -talkie” by Rafael Vinoly.
