Tastefully intermingling the old with the new is exactly what isn't happening. I don't think a return to the classics is the answer, but some cities manage to handle modernism without clashing with tradition, and London very much isn't one of them.
Worse, these buildings are going to have a very limited working life compared to the older architecture around them. A century is optimistic.
