I have cropped my original so that this is a very close match to Image And what a change since 2007! The distant view of the Hilton London Metropole hotel has been almost completely obscured by blocks of the new Merchant Square development http://www.merchantsquare.co.uk/. From left to right the buildings are: Waterside House (35 North Wharf Road), 5 Merchant Square (new), 4 Merchant Square (new - with the top of the tower block of the Hilton London Metropole hotel behind it), Balmoral Apartments, part of St Mary's Hospital.
