London from Above – A Changing City Skyline
London’s skyline has undergone extraordinary changes throughout the twentieth century, with historic streets and buildings gradually giving way to modern office towers, housing developments and ambitious regeneration schemes.
Our collection of genuine vintage colour photographs captures the capital from unusual elevated viewpoints, including the Post Office Tower, Millbank Tower, the Barbican and other prominent buildings. These panoramic views reveal vanished landmarks, changing neighbourhoods, historic railway stations, busy streets and the River Thames as they appeared decades ago.
Explore London from a different perspective and discover how dramatically the capital’s skyline has changed since the 1960s and 1970s.
