VH-KDK Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The next part of my flight along the Thames where we will travel towards the City. 1. The trusty Tiger Moth taking off from Fairoaks. 2. Hampton Court Palace and Molesey 3. Kingston upon Thames and Kingston Bridge 4. Richmond with Twickenham on the left. 5. Kew Gardens with the Evolution House and the Palm House almost hidden in the trees. 6. Barnes Bridge. On the upper right is Richmond Park and Sawyers Hill! 7. Hammersmith and Hammersmith Bridge. 8. Craven Cottage home of Fulham Football Club. 9. Parson's Green on the left with Wandsworth Bridge and Wandsworth on the right. 10. EGLW London Heliport in Black! The Altura, Vicentia Towers and the Heliport Hotel at Cotton Row. 11. Waltham Green's romantic gas works! Chelsea's Stanford Bridge ground can be made out just behind the wings. 12. Battersea park and Albert Bridge with Battersea Bridge beyond. 13. The now decommissioned Battersea Power Station is one of the largest brick buildings in the world. Chelsea Bridge is behind the Grosvenor Railway Bridge. 14. Vauxhall Bridge. The Kennington Oval cricket ground is just out of sight to the right. Too many images for one post so the second part will be shown at a later date. What a fantastic job has been done with all of these landmarks along the west side of London.

I grew up not far away at Effingham so like you many of the places are familiar. It has been over 50 years ago since I left so there is also a lot of change.

If I was to name all of the places and history on here it would take hours, I used to love visiting London for the day. As I was careless and broke the news I should go to Fleet Street where I could paper over the cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
