That first one is super!

I know, it actually makes me want to go to london which is supprising because I havent been all that keen on going.

agreed!

It looks like the streets are running with lava.

That's pretty... even the first one makes the gherkin look nice.

Not a fan of the gherkin?

I really like it.

yeah the first one is awesome. like a blue rock with yellow cracks in it.

The finest city in the world IMO. Reppin' East London massive!!!!!!!

I can see my office in the first one

Oh wow. Make me want to be there so bad right now. ARGH! And bram is right. The first one is def my fave.

Gonna steal that for my background right about...


NOW!

These are great. How many office lights are on though? Can everyone be working late?

it's better from the air

that first one looks amazing.

i was thinking the same thing tobasco!

probably taken in winter, deb

I can see my office in the first one

me too, top right just passed Tower Bridge you can see the Design Museum, I'm next door to that.

I like the last one, has a kinda movie set feel to it.

Thanks for posting these - they really reminded me how much I love living in London!!

Beautiful.

Gar0 thats a really nice part of town, those flats down Shad Thames are sick

do want

The first one of Bank is awesome.

Yeah Dan - I looked for a flat around Butler's Wharf but quickly stopped looking when I saw the prices. The wharf building appartments and cobbled streets there are awesome. And there's an ace Sam Smith pub there as well.

I love how organic London is compared to the American block cities. But I still love you America.

I travelled across that bridge on a bus today. TWICE.

the organic-ness comes at a price though, it's a labyrinth to negotiate

beautiful. one day i'll visit

Did anyone else watch that Britian from above program they had on a while ago?

Apparantly the layout of london hasnt changed since 1945 when the RAF did photographed the entirity of london to see how bad the blitz damage was.

The reason why we cant say that its stayed pretty much the same from before 1945 is because that's the first record we have of the city.

But its hard to imagine its changed much at all, the streets are too narrow for traffic (because their based off ancient roads).

Apparantly they were going to turn london into a planned city like america but it didnt take off, the money ran out fast and no one was interested.

Shad Thames is lovely, I'd take one of those flats with the gangway and a river front if someone died and gave it to me.

Which pub is the Sam Smith? Is it on Tooley Street?

That first one is really beautiful.

Boston is fairly organic... the streets were mostly once cow paths. And it's tough to tell people how to get around if they aren't using public transport. And oh hey, these pictures are from boston.com.

No across Tower Bridge Road in the Butlers wharf bit. I think it's called the Anchor Tap.

London is awesome on a map you can see how it hs grown, street by street like rings on a tree. I't so organic and quite unique.

Tesco - I guess that's why they call it 'The Knowledge'. It can be a warren-run. I actually had to look to see where the sun was to get my bearings in the City area to orientate myself when I first moved there.

I was like an urban Bear Grills, but less of a cunt.

Oh, fuck yeah, sort of behind Starbucks.

After about a year or two of London living, I stopped getting the tube across town and started getting taxi's so I could place the in between bits of my regular journey's better. Very rewarding until I got to Manor House.

yeah - I did the same, but use the bus instead of taxis. Still use taxis when I'm feeling flush though.

I miss London a bit.

You're so fancy Garo! I did the same thing with the bus...

You're in Vienna aren't you? You can still smoke in bars? That's what I miss.

@ Bramish

good time to listen to some Burial!

also- that first one makes the roads look like molten lava and the buildings like er...that volcanic rocky stuff
