Ok, this is a huge long-shot, but I found the following photo:



That's in the Latimer Road area. (see http://www.starfury.demon.co.uk/uground/cutncover.html ~1/2 way down.) Now imagine the view from one of the tall towers, up a bit higher than in this photo. We've got at least four buildings (one partially obscured) which look to be the right size and shape (the bumps on top, in particular) as those on the PerplexCity site. We've got a building which appears to be approximately the same shape and position as the rectangular one in PC. And the additional buildings in the distance on PC could easily be accounted for by both the change in position and the altitude.

Anyone want to go scale that building and check it out?

EDIT: One problem is that the shorter rectangular building looks like it's probably on the wrong side of the towers, i.e. closer to the foreground of the photo. But it's too blurry to be sure.

i know anyone driving towards shepherds bush on the west way gets a good ariel view of these blocks.

I recommend whoever wants to check this out does it as a pair though... someone has to hold the steering wheel etc....

Good technique I agree.

(I so hope it takes place in London - from a selfish Londoner)

I'm sure a call to NZ wouldn't cost tooooo much We have $5 weekends! *hint hint* Although that's for us to call overseas, but hey

I think that this may help us in finding the location of the first picture.

The link is to a site which has a list of tall buildings in london, there aren't that many so it would be possible to narrow down the list to a handful and then check out info, and ultimately, the area.

London?

[neon snake]

I reckon that's about right. London is probably key, and at some point 'One Taversen Square' may become important, but I think that's it for now.

I think I may have found the buildings that look very much like the ones on the site.

The building on the bottom left looks like the building from which the photo was taken, and the other buildings spread across the top look very much like the tall buildings in the background in photo from the site.
