Cobham Football Club
Surrey

66 aerial photographs of varying focal length

 

66 aerial photos of varying focal length taken from the field next to Cobham Football Club on 9 August 2025. Views include the London and Croydon skylines, Thorpe Park, Heathrow and Woking!

 

I have annotated some of the photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Church of St Andrew (bottom left) and Cobham Park, right and above centre.

 

 

 

Cobham Court Farm

 

 

Painshill

 

 

 

'The Swarm' ride at Thorpe Park

 

 

Across the bottom of the image is the A3. Top centre, the barrel roofed building with Chimney is 'Lakeside Energy' in the south western quarter of the M25/M4 junction. To the right of that building is Terminal 5 at Heathrow. The area of water below the the airport area must be The Queen Mary Reservoir.

 

Heathrow

 

 

I believe the body of water to be the Queen Elizabeth II Storage Reservoir between Walton & Molesey

 

Wembley Stadium. Twickenham Stadium is on the direct line from the position of the drone and Wembley stadium, so it should be clear, but I can't be certain that the large building just below and slight left (with a series of high rise blocks to the immediate right) is the stadium.

 




 

 

Top centre is the Post Office Tower. The Millenium Wheel next to Westminster Bridge is in the top right

 

Just to the left of the City are the chimneys of Battersea Power Station. The Docklands is top right.

 

The Crystal Palace Transmitter (top right)

 

The Arqiva Transmitter on Norwood Hill, left and the Croydon skyline (right). To the left of Croydon are the chimneys of 'Croydon B' power station, now the site of Ikea on Purley Way.

 

 

 

 

 

Chelsea FC's training base just above centre - the white building and the pitches to the right.

 

More of Chelsea FC's training base. In the bottom right quarter is the River Mole

 

 

Cobham Park

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hatchford Park, just to the right of and above centre. The M25 is hidden in the trees below.

 

 

 

 

 

The towers in the top left quarter are at Woking. left of centre is the Gothic Tower at Painshill
