Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[DBhomebrew]

Westminister Hall, London

Oh, man! Westminster was a hunch of mine, but when trying to confirm I let Google search for Westminster Abbey!

Nice job!

This is NOT the bridge in Arizona. But most people don’t seem to know that.

 

[DBhomebrew]

Tower Bridge, London.

Same here

Tower Bridge it is. How could I not do that after we went to London after all those bridges. You're up @DBhomebrew.

 

[Newsman]

London Bridge
Dangit! Too late!

 

[duncan.brown]

@DBhomebrew @dirkomatic, I thought some people might get stuck on Westminster Abbey which is adjacent to, but not part of, the Palace of Westminster. Bonus points to @Northern_Brewer for letting the non-Brits take a guess.

@Newsman London Bridge is actually one of the most boring of all the Thames crossing! Here's a picture showing Tower Bridge in the background.

I used to cross London Bridge each day on my way to work in Southwark. I
Got a great view of Tower Bridge from there, and always remembered the funny story of how the original London Bridge ended up in Arizona: London Bridge (Lake Havasu City) - Wikipedia

I do like a hammerbeam roof! The lower half of the room is kinda boring in comparison, but it does make it a flexible space for exhibitions and conferences etc.

It's a weird fact that most of the 10,000's of people crossing London Bridge don't realise, but there's squash courts under the left-hand end. I guess they must have once been part of a corporate gym for the adjacent offices, but it's now run by a chain, I used that gym sometimes when I lived a few minutes from there (but I preferred its above-ground sibling at the other end of the bridge).

The new and old Tappan Zee Bridges across the Hudson River.

Hope not. Certainly not by me. A quick search for the name in the thread doesn't bring results back.

 

[bracconiere]

i distincctly remember the patch of burbs on the right side. valley. i'm running on 4mb internet though, so scrolling through 100 pages would take many hours....

i'm anxiously waiting to see who gets it! (pro sports are fun to watch! lol)

I believe we are looking at the Millau Viaduct in southern France

Correct. For bonus points, what car did Clarkson take across it shortly after it opened?

 

[Andres Falconer]

I had to look it up. Apparently Jeremy was spoiled for choice, but chose poorly: a Ford GT.

I used the Fitness First gym on the other side of the bridge, too. It was in the building I worked in.

The way to narrow down your google search would be to look for “tallest bridge in the world”
