Nice photos Richard. Keep them coming! I don't go to the big smoke anymore so it's great to see your pics. Have you got any new Olympic stadium photos yet! I hear from one of my teachers that there is a viewing platform?

Yes at the top of a point block of flats. We want to visit. It would be nice to use the DLR. I'll certainly take pics. I expect we will travel before the shopping centre is opened.

Great App, Gabriel, especially as it's free.

OK here are some more. I took St Pancras on Saturday, with scaffolding gone. The hotel, now 50% sold off as apartments is at the far end of the building.

The interiors are of the newly refurbishes roof of Victoria Station over platforms 1-8. Gabriel, enjoy. I like the Cast Iron fretwork etc.

I attach this photo taken at the Barbican. It's is 3 photos stitched together and shows the gardens, complete with trees, at roof level.

This reminds me of when work Ed for Greenwich Borough as a repairs & maintenance surveyor. A Meeting Room with a green roof, along the lines of Barbican gardens, had several roof leaks. The green roof was supposed to provide improved thermal insulation to the building.

A standing joke was that the grass could be mown by flyomo.

Anyway, my answer was to remove the soil and vegetation, replace the asphalt with insulation slabs under, and paint over with solar reflective paint. End of problem. I'm not sure whether the architects approved

These photos are of Edenbridge, Kent. It's a lovely place full of half-timbered Buildings.

The National Archives at Kew. Not that beautiful, architecturally, but it's Mecca for historians.

I liked the drama with the breaking storm.

I thought a return to Greenwich would be nice. Well I'm always going back there!

Photographs were taken in March 2004, showing Arc Royal, Canary Wharf from the hill by the observatories, the Millennium Dome, King William Court buildings, the Park, view towards Blackheath church. Also at Greenwich pier and the Cutty Sark under restoration post fire.

I took these yesterday at the British Museum. I saw the roofed over central courtyard for the first time, and was most impressed.

I love the play of light and shadow, and the off lighting hue.

The google earth screen shot covers where I went. The 'plane isn't mine! The view of the British Museum in bottom left is great.

I put in the touristy bit after I had finished my ice cream cone with a melting choc flake in it!

The Shard under construction in May and June 2011.

I took these from the train at Battersea and past Denmark Hill. London's skyline is ever changing. the pic with The skyscrapers and tall buildings quite close up show The Shard near Thr Guys Hospital tower, which looks like a #1.
