The classic London panorama — from the summit, the City skyline, the Shard and the BT Tower stretch out before you. Come at sunset for the full effect.

Hampstead Heath's protected viewpoint gazes six miles across London to St Paul's, the Gherkin and the London Eye. A favourite with kite-flyers.

From the Jubilee Walkway, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye line up in one sweeping riverside panorama.

The ultimate viewpoint — from orbit, the Thames winds through the city past Canary Wharf and the Greenwich Peninsula.
