It is said that on a clear day you can see Birmingham from the top of the BT Tower... sorry about that Birmingham.

This was taken on Monday 20 February. On the way into London there was a fault on one Line. Thus instead of arriving at London Victoria as usual I arrived at London Bridge Station instead which is further east. I took the opportunity to take this shot. This is taken towards the end of the Platform hence the lack of people. The train I was on had gone through further north. Unlike most London mainline stations London Bridge is not a termini but takes trains going through London and a short way north to places like Cambridge and Bedford
The shot was taken with a Sony A550 handheld. Taken with a Sigma 10-20 at 10mm. 3 images for HDR at 0.7 stop difference. Processed with Photomatix 7 using realistic preset. Imported into Topaz Photo AI for denoise and sharpening I also used Topaz Clarity and in Photoshop did some straightening and corrected verticals with Transform

From Wikipedia
Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule, suspension, and, until 1960, cantilever bridge[1] in London, built between 1886 and 1894, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry with the help of Henry Marc Brunel. It crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and is one of five London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Foundation, a charitable trust founded in 1282.
The bridge was constructed to connect the 39 per cent of London's population that lived east of London Bridge, equivalent to the populations of "Manchester on the one side, and Liverpool on the other", while allowing shipping to access the Pool of London between the Tower of London and London Bridge. The bridge was opened by Edward, Prince of Wales, and Alexandra, Princess of Wales, on 30 June 1894.
The bridge is 940 feet (290 m) in length including the abutments and consists of two 213-foot (65 m) bridge towers connected at the upper level by two horizontal walkways, and a central pair of bascules that can open to allow shipping. Originally hydraulically powered, the operating mechanism was converted to an electro-hydraulic system in 1972. The bridge is part of the London Inner Ring Road and thus the boundary of the London congestion charge zone, and remains an important traffic route with 40,000 crossings every day. The bridge deck is freely accessible to both vehicles and pedestrians, whereas the bridge's twin towers, high-level walkways, and Victorian engine rooms form part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition.
Tower Bridge has become a recognisable London landmark. It is sometimes confused with London Bridge, about 0.5 miles (800 m) upstream, which has led to a persistent urban legend about an American purchasing the wrong bridge.
