+1.
One skyscraper with a bizarre or out-of-the-ordinary shape to mark your skyline is good (think the Grande Arche at La Défense for example), but a skyline only made up of towers with bizarre shapes is ugly in my opinion. It looks like a cabinet of curiosities. That's especially true for the City of London, less true for Canary Wharf.
