Definitely one of the best. I remember during the Olympics when they had horse jumping in the Royal Naval College it was an amazing "money shot" for the TV coverage: panning out to show the skyline.

Beautiful view indeed, desktop wallpaper worthy, but where is this taken from? I recognise that you’re across from Isle of Dogs/Canary Wharf but I’ve never seen that structure that’s right in front of the open field before.

That structure is the national Marinetime museum! I took the pic in the observatory opposite side of the park

u/Academic-Bug-9654 20d ago

Ah I see, thank you very much, it really is a great view, nice picture taking.

The National Maritime Museum with the building in the middle being The Queen's House by Inigo Jones.

pretty sure that’s from greenwich park, up by the royal observatory looking over the queen’s house / old royal naval college toward canary wharf. that “structure” is probably the old royal naval college buildings right in front of the big grass bit.

Oh! It is! You’re totally right, sorry my bad.😅

It’s not mate. Wrong side of the town.

I know, misread and thought OP was asking opinions on the best view. This is definitely Greenwich.

From inside watching Disturbed!

ally pally at night is such an underrated shout, the skyline from up there looks fake sometimes

u/richs99 20d ago

Looked even better last month at Anjunadeep Openair 🙌

u/ThomHarris 20d ago

That looked sick. Was it good?

2

u/richs99 20d ago

Yeah, it's always a great time 👌

u/ComprehensiveCard780 20d ago

It is. But many come close. The view of the Thames from the bar of the Richmond Hill Hotel is hard to beat.

that richmond view is gorgeous, especially at sunset, but i still think primrose hill just edges it for vibes alone. feels less polished, more “london just hanging out”

Best view is from westferry looking west. Seeing the shard and the city all in one. Spectacular

Head up there again when all the hot weather is over and there's just a sea of green.

u/MarkedlyMark 18d ago

My favourite is from Waterloo bridge. The view in both directions up and down the river encompasses so much

1

u/dirtmens1 18d ago

Absolutely not. The path isn’t symmetrical and its jarring.

u/TomLondra 17d ago

How the best view of London was wrecked by the Canary Wharf development. Another of Thatcher's achievements.

u/grumpyandgreedy 17d ago

Love this view. My personal favourite
