Aerial View of London

If you're flying into London's Heathrow Airport you may be very lucky to find yourself flying straight over Central London, along the Thanmes, before landing at Heathrow in the West. If you're even more lucky then it will be a nice day and you'll get some fantastic aerial views of London's architecture.

I have annotated the picture with many of London's historical buildings and tourist attractions which are also listed below. Many of these buildings and attractions have their own gallery in Tourist Attractions, click on a link below to be taken to that gallery.
