Google Earth London

By Posts No Comments

A week since the last post – so an update on what we are up to.

It is now possible to import your own buildings into Google Earth – as shown above. We are working on this with regards our various models, one of which is the main University Campus. Originally built in Sketchup (see below) we have been able to import it direct to Google Earth.

Linking in the info we have from our previous post with regards Google Maps, its also possible to embed panoramas into Google Earth.

Direct links to the .kmz files will follow asap…

Tower Bridge London Panorama

By Panoramas 50-60 5 Comments

Tower Bridge was completed in 1894, after 8 years in construction. The bridge was built to take pressure of London Bridge as the area to its east grew in population.

Built to compliment the Tower of London’s gothic architecture, the bridge’s unique design the result of a collaboration between Horace Jones, the then City Architect and John Wolfe Barry.

Tower Bridge’s colours of red, white and blue are a recent addition, added in 1977 to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Previous to the Jubilee the bridge was painted brown.
