Well , Saturday night came and it was time to head to town, camera in hand. 10.30pm kick off was slightly off-putting, but well worth it.
I’m quite a fan of rooftops, quiet, great views and almost certainly undisturbed away from the hustle and bustle below. My fellow explorer and I met at the location and made our way in – after finding the correct stair well we took the stairs up 24 floors, stopping for a breather half way. Once on the roof we took in the views before getting the cameras out. As the location is still a building site its slightly frustrating trying to get images nailed without scaffold in the way.
There were two shots that I really wanted to get – one a panorama of the London skyline, the other was to take a few self portraits looking a bit mysterious!

Love them both Mark, I think I need to do some rooftopping this summer
Like the crane/silhouette combo Mark! good stuff!
These are great, well worth the 24 floors I’d say! I like your ‘mysterious’ portrait.
The second shot gives me a batman-like feeling, and the first is just a stunning panoramic of the city. Nice work!
Awesome shots Mark, this is currently the best accessible rooftop in the city, however I have spied something recently which isn’t that high but at a great location 😉
This is pretty cool. When ever I stay at a hotel, I usually ask if I can go on the roof and shoot some picture. So far only one has said yes. – it was the pool deck…
Beutiful pictures Mark! Was wondering if anyone could help me and tip me off on any rooftop locations?! Im new to photography so any help would be appreciated as im struggling to find any that allow acces at the moment! Thanks! Once again, stunning photographs!
