Prince Charles might disapprove, but some modern architecture does complement traditional architecture quite well. I submit this example of a contemporary glass-and-steel office building whose windows reflect a traditional waterfront building against a clear blue sky.
We were on our way to a tour of the HMS Belfast, now a permanent museum docked in the Thames. We enjoyed a 45 minute tour of the ship which participated in World War II's D-Day invasion. Our tour guide was informative but succinct, and Noteworthy Events planned a hands-on discovery for us — from hoisting signal flags that spelled "BROWNELL" to a chance to fire the ship's cannons.
The Belfast is docked in a prime location with a head-on view of Tower Bridge. I especially recommend this tour for families with children.
