Thanks to Community Walk we are now able to view panoramas in Google Maps. Using an ‘iframe’ function its possible to view both windowed and full screen panoramas directly within the interface.
At the moment this is beta and only the Houses of Parliament view has the functionality. The rest will be added over the coming days.

All the views now include panoramas which can be viewed within Google Maps, click enlarge to view them full screen.

With a 3D model it is possible to visualise the impact of sea level change. South London is built on marsh land and is thus more prone to flooding. We have produced a movie that illustrates sea level rise in metres. It clearly picks up the moat around the Tower of London within a metre increase and then follows on to flood most of the Waterloo/South Bank area of London. The movie below does not take into account flood defenses, merely a direct sea level rise.
If we exaggerate the surface model of London in terms of height it shows clearly the reason why South London floods extensively compared to North of the Thames, as the image above illustrates.
You can view the full Virtual London model via the links in the side menu..
When visualising the city it is important to include common street furniture as such items are central to the urban experience. As such we have modelled a couple of London Phoneboxes to go into the wider model.
As soon as Google Earth allows texture mapping (or before if anyone wants them?) we will add these throughout London based on location.
