Raconteur combines first-class journalism, imagery and graphic design with a commitment to high-quality executions in print and online across all of our services.

We are currently creating a short documentary (12-15 minutes) on ‘The Future of the London Skyline’ and are looking for a well spoken, sharp, intelligent and engaging male presenter.

“Look across the London skyline and landmark buildings speak globally of what it is to be in the capital – St Paul’s, Tower Bridge, St Pancras Station and the Houses of Parliament – but also architecture of the modern era, Lloyd’s of London, Tate Modern and The Gherkin perhaps. Their diversity reflects both the city’s long history, but also its distinctively chaotic energy and charm.

Yet that skyline is set to change radically over coming years. Incredibly, some 270 or so tall buildings, of 20 storeys or more, are currently consented or proposed across London. It’s a number changing almost daily, with some 113 approved for planning and 70 having started construction over the last year. Some 30 of the 270 will be more than 40 storeys high, 19 of them over 50. London, it seems, is set to take bold strides towards a more sci-fi aesthetic.”

The aim of the documentary is to inspire the London public to take notice of what is happening across the city and join the debate. We explore some key themes such as:

• London’s rapidly growing population
• The housing crisis
• London’s planning policy
• Foreign Investment
• The future City vision
• London’s heritage

We require 2 days filming in London.
