The spire is that of the Holy Saviour Church in Croydon

 

The church spire in the centre of the pic marks The Life Tabernacle Church on the London Road and the white building dwarfing it is City House

 

The area between East & West Croydon stations

 

The area around the Whitgift Shopping Centre

 

The church tower on the far left is that of Croydon Minster. The bright yellow building (Factory Lane Reuse and Recycling Centre), the large white building behind (Tesco distribution centre) and the white chimney (White Tower Energy) are in the industrial area between the Mitcham Road and Purley Way

 

Purley Way, the retained chimneys of Croydon B Power Station, and the Ikea store that was built on the site.

Croydon Mail Centre, right of centre

 

Beddington Sewage Treatment Works (and next)

 

 

 

 

Beddington Power Plant. The high rise buildings immediately beyond are clustered around Sutton Station and the southern end of Sutton High Street

 

The large block of flats to the right are on Chaucer Gardens, a quarter of a mile to the north-east of Sutton United Football Club

 

St Helier's Hospital in Carshalton is the main feature.

 

The tall building on the right of the centre of the photo is the Baitul Ehsam Muslim Centre in Mitcham and the rugby field to the left are at Poulters Park. The High rise in the distance (top right quarter) is Northpoint Tower on the Tolworth Roundabout

 

In the top right quarter is the Baitul Futuh Mosque next to Morden South Station

 

The tall building, just to the right of centre in the top half, is Merton Civic Centre

 

 

The cluster of tall Buildings just above centre are at South Wimbledon Station

 

The tall building just to the left of centre in the top half is Britannia Point next to Colliers Wood Station

 

In the top left quarter, just behind the grey cuboid tower block, are the brown coloured flats which form part of AFC Wimbledons ground's southern and eastern sides. The roof of the main stand can just be seen when viewing the photo full size.

 

Wembley Stadium

 

Imperial Wharf and surroundings. In the top left quarter, towards the centre, one of the chimneys of the now derelict Lots Road Power Station is visible. Also in the top left quarter, far to the left and just below the thin tower which appears to have a green heart on the top, are the roof supports of Stamford Bridge (Chelsea)

 

The chimnesy of Battersea Power Station are visible in the centre of the top right quarter. The tall building just to the left of the power station is the Park Lane Hilton and the red triangular shaped building to the right is 160 Victoria Street.

 

To the left is the unmistakable Post Office Tower and the buildings in the centre are at Vauxhall. Between the two the US Embassy is visible if you know what you're looking for and to the right is the Millennium Wheel. Just to the left of the red coloured tower is the tip of the Queen Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), but the clock face is hidden behind the shorter red building.

 

City of London. St Pauls Cathedral is midway across the top left quarter and the financial district is to the right, with The Shard in front. Virtually in the centre is Strata SE1, the block of flats with the three wind turbines on the roof at Elephant & Castle though, as with most green ideas which look good on paper, they aren't practical in reality and don't get used due to the excessive noise and vibrations that they caused.

 

Tower Bridge is on the very far left at the top, just above the tree line.

 

Docklands

 

Sydenham Hill. The Millennium Dome (O2 Arena) is in the top left corner.
