Here's an interesting concept - a point of view drive and excursion through London, England. Passing by Big Ben (Clock Tower) then driving along Westminster, I found it quite unusual to listen to London news radio while in the car - this little detail made it for a very realistic experience!

Here's a fantastic series that explores London in-depth. Our host starts from Heathrow Airport and takes the Heathrow Express to Paddington station, with some exploring of the City of Westminster including free walking tours. After brief visits to Little Venice and Regents Park, he takes us to Hyde Park, ready for the next video. Really well done, great historical background, engaging guide and supporting video clips.

Here's a fun amateur video of London, England showing that the right song makes all the difference to promote tourism! The quick cuts show some of the famous views of the Thames River, high street shopping, the Tube and nightlife. It's worth it just to have a listen to Run DMC and Aerosmith again!

Good concept, great execution! This is a beautiful video showing off some famous London skylines and venues at sunset, using time-lapse to show the city's landmarks go from late afternoon to night. Many of these locations are along the Thames River, such as the London Eye and Tower Bridge. Use of symphonic music makes this a very dramatic and pleasing presentation...

Very interesting video, describing the history and business aspects of the London Eye. I didn't know it was originally slated to only be in operation for 5 years, which due to its success both as a tourist destination and city landmark has been extended another 20 years! Some really fantastic views from high up, reportedly able to see Windsor Castle 25 miles away - on a cloudless, smogless day I imagine ;-)
