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 divided the above aerial view into four photos and
annotated them with many of London's buildings and tourist
attractions (see below). Click on a section of the image above
to view a larger photo, or select the link for the full aerial
view. Many of these buildings and attractions have their own
gallery in Tourist Attractions,
click on a link below to be taken to that gallery.
