It's a new year, which means even more new buildings for London - here are five that are set to be built this year.
The US embassy (pictured above)
The Americans are abandoning their Mayfair fortress and invading Nine Elms with this blocky outcropping that looks like the medium-size side of a cheesegrater.
Architects: Kieran Timberlake
Opening: Late 2016
The Tate Modern extension
Hayes David
The venerable South Bank institution decided that it was full to bursting with art, so has unbuttoned its proverbial trousers at the dinner table and whacked this great angular mass on its side.
Architects: Herzog & De Meuron
Opening: June 2016
The Design Museum
Alex Morris
Moving from its current home in Shad Thames to the rejuvenated Commonwealth Institute in Kensington, the Design Museum is basically just pepping up an already awesome Grade II-listed building. Easy.
Architects: John Pawson
Opening: Late 2016
London Wall Place
This is just one of (possibly) 8,000 new office blocks opening up in the City this year. We like this one because it looks like a PlayStation 2, except it's giant and you can go inside to do business and junk. Cool.
Architects: Make Architects
Opening: Late 2016
Canaletto
This is just one of (possibly) 8,000 new apartment blocks that you won't be able to afford to live in this year in London. We like this one because it's called Canaletto because it's on the canal. Get it? Canal-etto? Ingenious.
Architects: UNStudio
Opening: Sometime in 2016

Some of London's listed buildings could be demolished to make way for Crossrail 2
