London Skyline Panorama
This London skyline panorama is titled ‘Golden Mile’. Capturing it took a couple of evenings of standing around on top of a building. It had been a warm day in London and the heat of the city could still be felt as the sun set – it was great not to be spending hours frozen in high winds for a change!
It’s lovely to get a shot with quite so many of London’s landmarks included, and this has lots – the major ones I’ve listed below, but if you zoom into the gigapixel image then you’ll spot many more.
Major London landmarks include the London Eye (Millennium Wheel), St Paul’s Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and the turrets of Lambeth Palace. Further along the skyline, you can pick out the Gherkin (30 St Mary Axe), Tower 42 (the Natwest Tower), the BT Tower (Telecom Tower), the British Museum, The Sea Life London Aquarium at the old County Hall, Shell Mex House, Nelson’s Column, Piccadilly Circus, the 147m Strata Tower, the nearby Elephant & Castle and even Alexandra Palace in the distance in North London.
The panorama was created as a gigapixel cityscape, made up of multiple high-resolution images precisely stitched together. The result is a detailed record of London’s skyline. It’s a view that always rewards close exploration.
Clicking fullscreen allows you to zoom in and pick out individual landmarks across the city, from the South Bank to the far north. To see more examples of London cityscape panoramas, please visit the portfolio.
The image is incredibly high resolution – and will print at photographic quality at over 10 metres without scaling up. In addition, the viewer on the site gives you the ability to explore the image online, zooming in to see the detail.
I hope you enjoy exploring the skyline. Click the link to view the gigapixel panorama.
