Overview

Skyframe Cityworks gathers clean, readable routes that highlight contemporary buildings—glass ribbons, steel spans, timber cores, and concrete shells reshaping English skylines. Each loop stays short, with plain language and simple markers you can spot on the ground.

Sources include public listings, architects’ notes, local planning records, and prior site walks. Opening times, access, and street works may shift, so treat these pages as a practical outline and adjust your pace on the day.
