This is the best that London's skyline has to offer - in 16 outstanding panoramic photographs of the capital as you've never seen it before.
Graham Charlie Edwards took the spectacular pictures from a mixture of public spots and private flats, from the City to Primrose Hill, for a new book.
It features what could be the best view from any London home - the one enjoyed by Jeffrey Archer, from his Albert Embankment penthouse.
Along the Thames: This is the                              astonishing view of central London from Lord                              Archer's penthouse flat on the Albert                              Embankment

East from Waterloo Bridge: Photographer                              Graham Charles Edwards says this is widely                              regarded as the finest street-level view in                              London

The view from Lord Archer's multi-million pound flat next the River Thames takes in the likes of Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye.
Mr Edwards, 52, of Knightsbridge, told MailOnline: 'I noticed him talking in his apartment, and he likes to sit on a sofa with that view behind him.

'I dropped off a mock-up of my book before it was printed, and asked him, "do you think I could come up and take a view from your penthouse"?
'To my astonishment he agreed. I waited for a good day, and I went up there and I spent an amazing hour taking pictures. He's got a 360-degree view.

'When I had the book printed, I sent a copy to him - and he asked me for three more, which he bought from me. If you don't ask, you don't get.'
The penthouse owned by Lord Archer - who has bought three copies of Mr Edwards's book - is on a peninsula giving stunning views along the river.
Mr Edwards has been working on the book of panoramic photographs for five years, and spoke to various people about gaining access to their flats.
Six of the images were taken from private homes, with Mr Edwards wanting to study rare views of the London skyline that the public cannot usual see.
