London's two financial centres in one aerial photograph. In the foreground left Canary Wharf , London Docklands, Isle of Dogs, and on the background right the City of London and the square mile. London Docklands were built in the 19th and early 20th centuries starting with the West India Dock in 1802. By the end of the 20th century containerisation of the shipping industry and larger ships meant that the docks were no longer needed and had become run down. It was decided by the government to remodel the area as a new commercial and residential centre to be known as London Docklands. Central to the scheme was the Canary Wharf project which consists of numerous skyscraper tower blocks and is a major financial centre. Canary Wharf was once part the busiest port in the world and has now become one of the world's busiest financial centres.

Prints are available from just £50 and usage licences from just £195 - see my price list left and the shopping cart below the photo. The easiest way to navigate this gallery is using the geographic menu on the left. The aerial photographs are all organised in galleries according to their location so start with the county and then choose the town or village. Wales & Scotland are at the bottom under the English Counties. If your looking at a picture and are not sure where it is, click the arrow on the upper right and it will show you which album it is in. Click the album name to see nearby images. There is a search facility ( bottom left ) but this only works with words I have put into it. That's fine for searches of places or well known buildings but in most cases I have not entered road name or a post code. The gallery is only a small part of my collection of UK aerial photographs so please Email if you would like to buy an aerial view of something not shown in the gallery. There are over 25,000 photos in the gallery and I have an archive of around half a million pictures going back to 1999. Although these images are usually referred to as drone photos they are actally taken with aeroplanes and helicopters which is why I can take them from much higher up than drone photographers are allowed to fly. The shopping cart is just a few of the popular items, there are more options starting at just £50 on my prices page. With prints and wall products I can produce any size or style that the photo lab produces, just email for a quote. NB the shopping cart are for standard sizes, many pictures in my gallery are non standard such as panoramic or square. In these cases either the prints need to be made non standard or the image made to fit the print size. Obviously purchase of a print or wall product does not grant rights to make copies for which you also need to buy a licence Prints and Wall Products are made specially to order and therefore cannot be cancelled or refunded so please choose carefully.
