Heron Tower

Completed in 2011, Heron Tower, the 46-storey 230-metre skyscraper rises above the City of London, another symbol of the continued transformation of the city’s skyline. Surpassing Tower 42 and The Gherkin, Heron Tower is the tallest building in the City of London. Designed by architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox and constructed by Skanska, the building’s entrance hall features a 70,000 litre aquarium.

Bishopsgate Rising

Documenting the City of London’s skyline is a project I envision taking the rest of my life. The changes have built pace so much over the last decade. Shooting medium format allows me to capture beautifully sharp images, and see so much of the detail in the scene. Nearing completion, 22 Bishopsgate (TwentyTwo) continues to…
The City Awaits

City of London Photography This image was shot in December 2018, with the City of London in a period of unprecedented construction growth. The London skyline is changing daily. It’s a really exciting time to be photographing these iconic views. In contrast, inside these buildings, the thought is all of Brexit. The UK is on…
London Begins

A London Sunrise Panorama A new day over London, and the sunrise washes over the city. The square mile is drenched in light, the enormous buildings momentarily insubstantial. Usually, it’s the tall buildings that are the heroes of any cityscape. But here, the Queen Elizabeth II Great Court at the British Museum really proclaims its…
London Wide

As a cityscape photographer, I’m often asked “what building is that?”. The London skyline is evolving so rapidly, it can be hard to keep pace with all the new additions. To answer that question I’ve built this ‘enhanced gigapixel’ – where information is overlaid onto the image. You can click on an info point to…

Silvered City

This high resolution cityscape provides views over some of London’s most iconic buildings. After St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower 42 is the grand old lady of tall buildings here, having been first occupied in 1980, with the Lloyds building following in ’86. It seems impossible to think of the City of London now without the Gherkin…
Winter Sun London

London from The Leadenhall

London is so vast, and such a city of architectural extremes that each new vantage point on high gives a new perspective on the familiar. Even within the square mile, the skyline shifts and provides something new to fascinate. When I first lived in London, Tower 42 was known as the Natwest Tower (the shapes…
London’s Skyline

The Shard London Bridge – Blue Hour

The Shard is one of London’s most exciting buildings. It was completed in 2012, then becoming the tallest building in the European Union. I shot views from the Shard for the developer, and the sheer height of the building has made it one of the most exciting series of cityscapes I have worked on –…
