i lived on the top floor of one of those houses at the top of Woodland Rd 30 years ago, lovely to see that view again though much changed over the years of course
love the sloping houses and the power lines are good too. that drone footage - spectacular. how lucky are the people who live in that tower block. go olivia!
Fantastic Stuff As Always Michael.. I really should get up to Crystal Palace as i only work just down near Forest Hill. So not a million miles away from my working door step.. Great Street Vistas.. More to Add To The locations list.. Nice work..👌🏼🤗👍
Glad you enjoyed it, when that now out of the way, made that promise to my kids, don’t have to do that intro ever again😂Think it’s the first London related video I included any drone stuff, and still not sure if it was even ok to fly there as maps said it was but it being considered urban area maybe it wasn’t 🤷🏼♂️
Spectacular stuff! Have you been to blythe hill fields before? There's a rather special view from there. Another hidden gem in south east London and a personal favourite of mine.
Thanks, this is exactly the kind of videos I’d watch if I was planning a visit to a different capital hence making them available for others here in London where I live at least😀
Thanks Tom, yes for evening shots it’s even better IMO but I was there with my kids so by evening we had to head home, love the long exposure night time shots from there 👍🏻
Most of London and around is fine, maybe some very central and touristy places are worse but if you have decent special awareness then you’ll know when to shoot and when to put the camera back in the bag
Thanks Luke, just imagine that this is probably the closest you can actually fly near the city😂 and quite frankly it was fine on the maps but someone told me as it’s considered built up area I maybe shouldn’t have flown even in there🤷🏼♂️
@@LondonViewpoints yes that’s true. But there’s like a straight empty path so even with leaves it’s still visible. I prefer it in summer as you can watch a better sunset and it looks more nature
I remember walking down from Crystal Palace to central long ago (I tend to walk very long distance). After walking for at least few hrs, I came across a fantastic spot with the most beautiful central london view (at night).. Too bad I didn't know where I was, and couldn't find it again.. All I remember was I was on a downhill slope (at least few meters) single and the view was in front of me and there were some residential blocks on the left.
This area has the best viewpoints. Probably biased because I’m from the area. For me Gipsy Hill has the best viewpoint overall. Also check out Roman Rise, Farquhar Road and Crystal Palace Park for views towards SE London and Kent! As for the former, it’s Dawson’s Heights / Canary Wharf and West London! What day did you film this?
Thanks a lot, got to check out some of the other road you mention next time 👍🏻I filmed this obviously when it was a fair bit warmer, mid September if I remember well
@@johnwells2908 eh, no, that’s a bit too much😜I have however been spotted in the past by locals that seen me being a photogtapher and invited me inside as they said they have a better view so it does happen but I tent to not ask myself into anyone house first, if they offer it than it’s different
@@JJ-fs6vb I have a friend that lives in that tower but only on 10th floor and we did go check out the top and there’s no rooftop access for residents, no top floor lounge or even staircase windows, nothing other than penthouse flats
@@LondonViewpoints oh ok coz i seen a picture from that viewpoind so i wasnt sure but theres addington hills and theres a tower block up in new addington good views of london from there

I bet even 30 years ago that must’ve been a great view to have
This is such a brilliant video mate. It’s made me kinda tearful as I grew up here, so so many memories. I miss it so much. Less complicated times.
Thank you for the kind words, I love this area for the views, must’ve been interesting growing up here and seeing the skyline changing
Very nice video. Thanks for your sharing
You’re most welcome😀
love the sloping houses and the power lines are good too. that drone footage - spectacular. how lucky are the people who live in that tower block. go olivia!
Thanks a lot , yeah I love these kind of streets and can’t wait to get back in the drone game as I sold my mavic 2 pro
Fantastic Stuff As Always Michael.. I really should get up to Crystal Palace as i only work just down near Forest Hill. So not a million miles away
from my working door step.. Great Street Vistas.. More to Add To The locations list.. Nice work..👌🏼🤗👍
Thanks a lot, yes if you’re so close than it’s a totally worth visit 👍🏻Glad the locations inspired you to check it out in the future
Love the intro mate! 😂👌🏼 That drone break was EPIC. Some really awesome views I never knew about 🤩🤩
Glad you enjoyed it, when that now out of the way, made that promise to my kids, don’t have to do that intro ever again😂Think it’s the first London related video I included any drone stuff, and still not sure if it was even ok to fly there as maps said it was but it being considered urban area maybe it wasn’t 🤷🏼♂️
London Viewpoints haha I’m sure it’s fineeeee 😬👌🏼
Spectacular stuff! Have you been to blythe hill fields before? There's a rather special view from there. Another hidden gem in south east London and a personal favourite of mine.
Thank you, yes I’ve been to Blythe Hill Fields, very nice view although I’ve not been there in a long time, need to revisit
Nice viewpoints. Definitely places worth visiting in London.
Thanks, this is exactly the kind of videos I’d watch if I was planning a visit to a different capital hence making them available for others here in London where I live at least😀
Awesome locations buddy, perfect day today to check some of these locations out 🙂
Thanks, it’s definitely looking like a good day for skyline photography for sure, might go out too this afternoon somewhere 👍🏻
Great video! Will have to head down south to there at some point soon to get some evening pictures 👍
Thanks Tom, yes for evening shots it’s even better IMO but I was there with my kids so by evening we had to head home, love the long exposure night time shots from there 👍🏻
Yes you are so right! The view from here is absolutely the best!! Norwood park and Crystal Palace park is where I woke my dogs.
Wish I lived a bit closer to visit the are more often, one of the finest skyline compositions in town I believe
Thank you for the secret spots shared in this video 😅☺️ definitely helpful 👍
Glad you found my video helpful, enjoy the views 👍🏻
Excellent video and advice! That building at 7.00 yes love that one! Been once and got a great shot 😊
Thanks Adam, yes that building is a treat of a view 👍🏻Next time I have to try a top floor bus ride down Knights Hill
Great video Michael, 👍📸 amazing views!
Thanks Frank ☺️ glad you like it
love your videos mate.keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot ☺️
lovely work as always my man!
Thanks a lot Carlton☺️
@@LondonViewpoints anytime buddy!
Great video Michael 👌
Thanks a lot Heather ☺️
Awesome 👌
Thanks Dom👍🏻
Just for reference, they are telegraph poles not electricity poles, not important I suppose but a detail worth knowing ?
Great video as always 👍🏻📸🙂
Thanks for the info, English being my second language I learn new words everyday 👍🏻Glad you enjoyed it
I'd love to do more photography,I've got a nice camera but I'm too scared to take it out for fear of being mugged.
Most of London and around is fine, maybe some very central and touristy places are worse but if you have decent special awareness then you’ll know when to shoot and when to put the camera back in the bag
Super !!!
Thanks a lot☺️
Great drone shots!

Stave Hill in Rotherithe has fantastic views
It does indeed, better is winter when there’s no leaves on trees as otherwise the city side gets heavily blocked
@@LondonViewpoints yes that’s true. But there’s like a straight empty path so even with leaves it’s still visible. I prefer it in summer as you can watch a better sunset and it looks more nature

I mean I usually can try and take a challenge to guess a viewpoint but this… this is GOAT difficulty level 🤣 I don’t know , Canonbie Road maybe ?
Crystal palace to central?? That's a slap lol
Go to Marrayat road in Wimbledon! Best view of London
yes amazing juxtaposition.
Brilliant video. Do you know of any places where you can see the London skyline from Chiswick?
Thanks. Don’t know Chiswick that well, afaik it’s quite a flat area isn’t it? If you do know any, please share
@@LondonViewpoints Oky doky that's cool...if I find any I'll let you know then

Hi Michael, what lens did you use for your timelapse?
That’s was a vintage Nikon 180mm F2.8 Ai-S 👍🏻
Imagine having that balcony view at 2:52 behind you
I know right ?😱they must have an epic view
@@LondonViewpoints knock on Thier door and ask to have a look?
@@johnwells2908 eh, no, that’s a bit too much😜I have however been spotted in the past by locals that seen me being a photogtapher and invited me inside as they said they have a better view so it does happen but I tent to not ask myself into anyone house first, if they offer it than it’s different
Loved your intro 😂😂
Had to do it, made a promise to my kids 😂
@@LondonViewpoints its very london 😃
Gypsy hill my fav spot
I like it very much too
@@LondonViewpoints top of safron tower in croydon another good view of london there can u make me a video off that view from there if you can
@@JJ-fs6vb I have a friend that lives in that tower but only on 10th floor and we did go check out the top and there’s no rooftop access for residents, no top floor lounge or even staircase windows, nothing other than penthouse flats
@@LondonViewpoints oh ok coz i seen a picture from that viewpoind so i wasnt sure but theres addington hills and theres a tower block up in new addington good views of london from there
@@JJ-fs6vb addington hills have great views indeed but not been to any towers there
Try Blythe hill park in catford bro
Not been there in a while but know the view well 👍🏻
Thanks for the vid
3:28 that guy need to learn some respect big time cool vid tho
Yeah he was a bit weird, so had to include it in the video
London is surely the greatest city in europe?
Yes but it feels very European , and we like Europe here 😉
@@LondonViewpoints I like Europe too just not the EU 😉
@@jason-gf8dg I guessed that by your photo😜everyone is entitled to an opinion just I don’t agree with his or him overall
Is Upper Norwood safe to live?
Yeah sure, most of London is👍🏻
I live on that road plz don’t come there
And why should I not come there if I may ask ?
