Millennium Dome

"A mighty mass of brick, and smoke, and shipping,
  Dirty and dusty, but as wide as eye
    Could reach, with here and there a sail just skipping
      In sight, then lost amidst the forestry
        Of masts; a wilderness of steeples peeping
          On tiptoe through their sea-coal canopy;
            A huge, dun cupola, like a foolscap crown
              On a fool's head--and there is London Town."
      - Lord Byron
