Here’s a great gallery of pictures that illustrate how London’s beautiful skyline has changed since the 1600’s. It’s been changed by fire, bombs and water. It’s a pretty amazing collection of pictures.

Aerial view of London skyline
Aerial Views of London, Britain – 13 Jun 2012
These aerial photos offer a breathtaking bird’s eye of London’s world famous skyline. Taken at dawn as the city slowly woke, roads and pavements are eerily quiet – a very different scene to the usual hustle and bustle. With buildings stretching as far as the eye can seen, the images, which were taken from a helicopter, also show off the vast size of the city. Landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge and the Albert Hall can all been seen. Meanwhile, some of the newer additions to the skyline – such as the London Eye and the Shard – are also shown.

Hey, Jonathan, on one of the photos ‘men unloading esparto grass’ …being the eagle eye person I am, I noticed you have it dated 1750?, photography was not invented until a hundred years (approximately) later mate!
Good eye!
