It was really quite tight up here, there is not much room at all. However, the view down the River Thames was fantastic, especially with the bow end of the HMS Ark Royal in the foreground. It is one of the more unusual panoramic pictures I have had the opportunity to take.

This panorama shows was taken from the superstructure above the bridge of the HMS Ark Royal. From this vantage point there is a spectacular view over Greenwich and the Isle of Dogs. You can clearly see the way the flight deck curves upwards to help planes taking off. One of the panoramic pictures of was taken at the very end of the HMS Ark Royal's flight deck, at the end of the black strip. This page also contains more information about the HMS Ark Royal itself.

The picture was taken while the HMS Ark Royal lay moored on the River Thames in London off Greenwich Pier as part of the National Falklands 25th Anniversary Commemorative events in June of 2007. There is a folded Merlin helicopter on the deck. This helicopter can be taken down below the flight deck on one of the huge lifts. This picture provides a unique view of Greenwich and the Isle of Dogs.

Whilst the location pointer shows the place where the HMS Ark Royal was moored, there is no aerial photo of her on the satellite view of the Google map of London. There are also panoramas taken form the HMS Ark Royal's Bridge, near the stern of the flight deck and the middle of the flight deck.
