Belgrave:

 One of my favourite boroughs, I often used to take Sunday walks in belgrave just to absorb the architectural excellence of the endless beautifully preserved Georgian rows, also, I frequently traveled from victoria station 9.gif:

East London

And last but not least, East London, not so glamourous as the other areas because of crime, poverty, the works, but redevolpment projects are underway...and even though it may not be the most glamorous, it is still architecturally rich in my opinion16.gif:

The East London Line of the London Underground travels mostly on sub-surface track:

Impressive! Those are soo good. I love how the entire blocks have all the same buildings. That must have been hard to do. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

     Update- Balham Part One

     Well, heres my native borough of Balham in Wandsworth...this area that im recreating here is pretty close to where I used to live, so I should be able to recreate it quite fairly from memories of my old home...

    ...also, if you have google earth PLEASE critique me on my recreation it would be very appreciated 19.gif

    Well, heres an area near Balham station road:

    Very well done on Balham and Belgravia. I love Belgravia myself.

    It would be interesting to see a British seaside town recreated like my hometown Great Yarmouth or Southend.

    Wow, seriously? That's awesome sauce.

    Live Local has Birds Eye images for Great Yarmouth and the aerial images were updated only a week ago.

    Amazing work! Every picture looks just like it would from England! I can't really critique it because I live in America, but it looks stunning!

    Nice work, great pics!

    RE the title, LOL!  "I will not cease from mental fight, nor shall my sword sleep in my hand!"


    Let no one yield, we're on the field where deeds eclipse the sun; where the brave are told on a thread of gold, the tapestry is spun. As they speak of dreams, their armor gleams, this calm before the storm... Where all can see their destiny, the bishop takes the pawn.

    I recommend Live Maps instead of google earth. with live, you can see a birds eye view of everywhere in london and the majority of england, except the north (manchester, liverpool, leeds, up that way) and areas where theres nothing.
