Where can I find some great views of london from quite high up?

Best view of London = Parliament Hill, AKA Kite Hill on Hampstead Heath. I promise. Nearest underground station is Kentish Town.

Jane S

the London Eye, The Monument, Big Ben, Canary Wharf

I discovered Greenwich Park last weekend and the views of London from the Royal Observatory are great!

try the London eye, but you will have to be quick!

Hampstead heath gives quite a good panoramic view!

London eye! But be quick, your shot wont last long.

Monument obviously has some great views, dont know about getting kit up there to film, but its a hreat view from the heart of the city. Crystal Palace and Alexandra Palace obviously have amazing views right across the city. Other locations could be either the restaurant at the top of Peter Jones in Sloane Square, which is has a panoramic view to the north of London, the Oxo Tower & Tate Modern on the south bank and of course the the towers of Tower Bridge... But the view from the top of monument is fab!

Post office tower up on the veiwing gallery offers excellent 360 degree views...

You could try the London eye, or failing that got to the top of ST Pauls, most high buildings are offices.

St Pauls cathedral has an excellent veiw of the city you can go onto the roof!
.
So is Tower Bridge if you go up inside the veiwing gallery.

No doubt, Alexandra Palace.... or... if you have access the BT tower.

Of course the London Eye will come up tops (in a manner of speaking), but get yourself to Crystal Palace - it's on a hill, and you can see a great deal of London, even as far as the yet-to-be-finished Wembley Stadium. The best thing about it is that you do not have to pay arm or leg for it, and you need not worry about either getting stuck in a lift, or worry about the 'usual suspects' we have been told to give the hooded-eyebrow glare at, in the Eye. Hampstead Heath is also good, but after a certain time of the day, people (id est; gay folk and the police) might presume your there for summat else altogether.
Martinsbits - did they not close the BT (aka Post office tower) to the public in 1970...or thereabouts when the top storey was blasted by the IRA. Remember going there on school trip in 1967.
