Tall apartment building on the left might be Dunedin House.

ww Posts: 9740 Joined: 08/17/2007	I'm surprised that I didn't make some whopping bad mistake. Here's how it worked: 1. I supposed it must be somewhere around the Thames. 2. Looked sort of industrial, so I looked around the Thames Barrier--nothing upstream looked promising. 3. The Tate & Lyle building was distinctive enough to be findable. 4. Decided the photo was looking at Tate & Lyle from the east, then the apartment building provided more info on the direction from which the photo had been taken. Wikimapia helped with identifications. Actually, it was a bit more random than that, but the clincher was that metal building on the extreme right. Not that I can figure out what it's for. It's a really nice photo. Tate & Lyle looks like it split recently into two companies.
