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

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 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.

Yeah, my wife was laughing at me for "showing my age" when I called it that when showing her the link.

That building provoked a lot of excitement back in the day, which must seem pretty mysterious nowadays

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. 

Kinda like the Ruhr area, then.

Hey asshole, I went to sleep two hours later than I intended thanks to this. I am paying for it today.

Did you find any boobs?

No

Lots of London Houses need new roofs too.

Including mine. Somehow there always seems to be other things to spend that £10K on.

That's an expensive roof. What's the material of choice?

[Gups]

Tiles, lots of them. House is from 1890s and I don't think the roof has ever been worked on properly since.

[Grey Fox]

Wow. I'm impress at the sturdiness of it.

My roof is ~20 years old & it's going to get replaced within the next 5 years.

Canadian architecture has to put up with a lot of freeze/thaw cycles. Nothing but nothing lasts as long here.

Tile roofs are best but even for them that is past the expiration date.

That is true. It's true for all of our rusted cars.

Cars rusting out is also I think caused by the use of salt to de-ice roads.

[Valmy]

That is true. It's true for all of our rusted cars.

Woah.

Ok that killed any inclination I ever had to move to Canada.  The infinite wealth of Alberta cannot make up for all my cars rusting.

Meh - by the time they start seriously rusting you probably want a new vehicle anyways.

If you have a vehicle you want to last forever you garage it for the winter.
