Future Skyline layer ensures that Accucities 3D London model is as up-to-date and useful to their customers as possible. 3D models of skyscrapers and landmarks with planning permission already granted are continuously added to the wide-area London model. This offers AccuCities customers a comprehensive look at how the London Skyline will look in the near to medium future.

3D models from the Future Skyline layer are supplied to our customers as part of their 3D city model of London purchases. Whilst 3D London subscribers get the Future Skyline updated as soon as new 3D models are added to it, every tile purchase via our Quoting Tool also qualifies for all Future Skyline layer models (where available). Here are some of the May 2025 staff picks from the collection. See video LINK.
