Thurs, 10 March 2016, 10:36 am: Atop 20 Fenchurch Street, let’s take a look at London from thirty-five floors and one hundred fifty-one metres up.
The Shard, the tallest building in London
the River Thames at the base of The Shard
Tower Bridge (center) and City Hall (right)
the HMS Belfast, moored just to the west of City Hall
Tower Bridge
Millennium Bridge (center) and Blackfriars Bridge (above it, from this perspective)
30 St Mary Axe… like anyone really calls it that
the Tower of London
the London Monument
St. Paul’s, and a whole bunch of construction cranes
