View from Horniman Gardens
View of the City with Swiss Re and the Natwest Tower with the new Shard taking place to the left. Dawson Heights flats in the middle distance. A temperature inversion has trapped the pollution in the lower air levels and this can be seen as the brown tint near ground level.

Viewpoint at Horniman Gardens
The view north and west from near the top of Horniman Gardens is one of the best in London as can be seen here from the viewpoint by the bandstand. The very distinct hill top spire (out of the picture here) in line between the chimneys of Battersea Power Station is at Harrow-on-the-Hill, 15 miles away. Occasionally on a very clear day it is possible to see the towers of Windsor Castle, almost exactly due west, 21 miles away. In this view The Shard at London Bridge can be clearly seen.
The Bandstand was built in 1903 from a design by Charles Harrison Townsend, and has recently been restored. A much fuller history of Horniman Museum and Gardens can be read at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3929325
The main blot on the landscape and block on the view are the flats at Dawson Heights, seen on the left here. An even better view therefore is on the grass area in front of Dawson Heights as seen here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2635423
