Today I have a sunset video taken from Waterloo Bridge last November. Once again it’s from TimelapseLondon.co.uk using a Canon 5D MK I.

Sunset At Saint Paul’s – Timelapse Video
The second timelpase of St. Paul’s Cathedral today, once again from TimelapseLondon.co.uk. This one was taken along St. Paul’s Church Yard again using a Canon 5D MK I.
Sunset From The South Bank – Timelapse Video
Another timelpase video from TimelapseLondon.co.uk. This one features a view of St. Paul’s and the Millennium Bridge taken from the South Bank at sunset. Taken using a Canon 5D MK I.
Sunset from Isle Of Dogs – Timelapse Video
The third in our series from TimelapseLondon.co.uk‘s series of timelapse videos. This one shows sunset at Canary Wharf taken from just south on the Isle of Dogs. Taken using a Canon 5D MK I.
Sunset From East India Docks – Timelapse Video
The second in TimelapseLondon.co.uk‘s timelapse series. This one features a great view of Canary Wharf and the Docklands taken from East India Dock at sunset. Taken using a Canon 5D MK I.
Sunset From Tower Bridge – Timelapse Video
This week I thought I’d feature TimelapseLondon.co.uk‘s series of timelapse videos of London. The first one was taken from Tower Bridge at sunset last year – fairly obvious as the Shard isn’t finished yet. Taken using a Canon 5D MK I.
Bank Station – The End Of The Waterloo & City Line Walk
Bank station was the end point for my Waterloo & City line walk, the first of the 11 lines to be walked as part of the Tube Challenge. At this point it means 2 stations down and 268 to go. This will be the first of 5 total visits to the Bank/Monument complex – the only other station I’ll pass through more often will be King’s Cross St. Pancras.
Random fact about Bank station – It wasn’t until 1940 that the Waterloo and City line platforms were renamed to Bank. Prior to that date the line had terminated at “City” Station, hence the name Waterloo & City line.
Waterloo Station – Start of Waterloo & City Line Walk
London Waterloo Station was the first station on my Tube Challenge and this was the first photo I took of the station. At this point 1 down 269 more to go. I will pass through this station twice more during the challenge.
My favourite piece of trivia about the station is the fact that Waterloo used to be the terminus for the Eurostar (subsequently moved to St. Pancras Station). This meant that French passengers had to disembark at a station named in honour of the battle where Napoleon was defeated. Not exactly the symbol of European unity.
Blackfriars Solar PV Bridge – From Waterloo & City Line Walk
While I don’t think this is a particularly good photo of Blackfriars Railway Bridge, it does show something very interesting going on. The bridge is going to be covered in solar PV panels, which will generate around 900,000 kWh of electricity per year. To put that in perspective a typical large home solar system produces about 3,500kWh per year. Once completed the Blackfriars solar PV system will generate about 50% of the station’s entire power needs.
This combined with the fact that you can already enter Blackfriars station from either side of the Thames – makes it the most interesting railway station in London – in my opinion.
Taken on my Waterloo & City Line walk – part of my Randomly London v. The Tube Challenge.
TUBE TUBE 9 – Escorted – London Underground Short Film Series
The most recent film in the TUBE TUBE series and another great one not shot in English. Things do not seem to be going Eva’s way. A warning to any more sensitive viewers, there are some strong subtitles and implications of adult situations. If you like this one give the rest of the TUBE TUBE series a watch.
