A 320 gigapixel panorama of London. The largest ever taken.

Question for Languishistas who have never been to London, is this anything like what you imagined the city to look like?

Most movies shot in London don't give you the sense of soul-sapping overcast this does.

If I had to live in that weather year-round I would start complaining about everything and my teeth would start growing in various directions.

I would probably pick up the hobby of binge drinkiing as well.

I think I've found my old flat at 127 Harley Street, Top Floor Flat! 

Looks like the landlords replaced some windows in the last 20 years, though. 

Man, that was a great place to live.  Given the number of times I looked out my living room window and saw the BT tower, it's kinda funny to be looking in the opposite direction.

How many tiddlers did you pay in rent?

Ok what is up with the church with the beavers on it?  I would expect sacred beavers in Canada not London.

Maybe it's a church for Canadian expats?

I guess I expected it to look less soulless and more distinctive.  Central Paris this ain't.  But that's ok.

Neither is it Central London, but I guess also what you describe is London's lack of a central 'theme' like Paris or the Skyline/buildings of Manhattan; London is more a lot of little towns, sometimes villages within those towns, thrown together with a couple of small cities.

Pftt, we live through those days and now we seem to be getting an extra minute or two each evening, so come June it'll only seem like we have a six hour night. 

Helps to give the year a mild, but pleasing rhythm.

How many tiddlers did you pay in rent? 

Two stone and a furlong per fortnight.

I can see my old flat in Battersea 

I had no idea there was a line of sight to the Post Office tower, it must have been lost in the general murk.

I've been to London & you do forget how uncentralized it is without looking at it from above like that.

I always thought it was interesting how you could roughly work out someone's generation by what they called the tower - Post Office, Telecom or BT.

Now that you draw my attention to this phenomenon I do see some very cool neighborhoods in there.  I guess I had this image that all London looked sort of like this:

Lots of London Houses need new roofs too.
