| Battersea in the Morning |
Brian Micklethwait photos photos of London and sometimes he leaves clues that I can follow, so I do. This is one he took of the rails coming out of Victoria Station. The four chimneys sticking up are the Battersea Power Station on the other side of the Thames. Well, it used to Battersea Power Station, but I think it's condos now. The chimneys are still standing, which is good. Seems I remember hearing they were going to take them down on account of some nitwits crying about safety. Probably the same idiots running around toppling statues.
My first attempt was using Google Streetview, but as you can see, there is a barrier along the edge of the bridge that blocks the view of the rails. If you follow the link and spin the view around 180 degrees, you can see the Victoria Station clock tower, just like in Brian's blog.

| Same view using Google Maps 3D |
Google's 3d view gets us a view of the tracks, but our viewpoint is higher, so the angle isn't the quite same, and it is nowhere near as clear.
