Part of Horse Guards Parade can be seen at the bottom of the photo, Whitehall is between it and the Thames. The Houses of parliament, London Eye, Waterloo station and The Oval cricket ground are the other prominent landmarks. Viewed from a Prague bound flight from Heathrow.

The London Eye, Houses of Parliament and St James Park are clearly visible. Waterloo railway station is to the left, Charing Cross to the right.

Looking up the Thames, the bridges are Waterloo, Hungerford, Westminster, Lambeth, Vauxhall, Grosvenor and Battersea.

The "Tattershall Castle" moored near the bridge, with the Waterloo Bridge in the background.

The "Hispaniol" parked just about under the bridge. Strange, but the image doesn't appear to show an "a" at the end of the vessel's name. Is that correct or is it that the image just isn't clear enough??

The H.O.S. "Wellington" of the Master Mariners. I was just walking along the footpath, by this vessel, and thought that I would be cheeky and go aboard. All I can say is that I was very favourably impressed by the courteous reception I received, even though I was neither a Member nor anyone liable to so be. The Crew on duty showed me around and, from memory, even shouted me a drink. Good Public Relations, for sure.

The "Queen Mary" is between the photographer and the Bridge whilst the "Wellington" is beyond it. And I assume that the vessel to the right is a river version of a road-sweeper?

Although the front of the building says Charing Cross Station, would I be right in assuming that this an hotel constructed over the actual railway terminal??

Located in John Adam Street on south side of The Strand, this building was designed for the society by Robert Adam in the 1770's.
