Neat! I have a modern day shot on my desktop from virtually the same angle, so with Tower Bridge as the reference I just spent a few minutes minimising and maximising the window to see the things that are different and things that are the same.

Wow! This is wonderful!
Photographer Buckham also did a similar – and great – shot of Edinburgh. http://www.nationalgalleries.org/collection/artists-a-z/B/15583/artist_name/Alfred%20G%20Buckham/record_id/2996
