The London skyline is beautiful, but it's often hidden behind the city's true architectural marvel: the Cloud Bank. This is a vast, grey ceiling that sits at a uniform height, making the world feel like a giant, open-plan office with terrible lighting. On some days, it lowers itself, creating a phenomenon known as "low cloud," which is essentially fog that can't be bothered to get out of bed. It has the effect of making tall buildings look like they've been neatly sliced off by a cosmic knife. You could be standing next to The Shard and have no idea it's there. It's a humbling, if dreary, reminder that nature still holds the lease on the airspace above our bustling metropolis. See more at London's funniest URL -- Prat.UK.
