London 360o is a collection of stunning photographs by specialist aerial photographer Jason Hawkes, which take the reader through a complete aerial revolution of the city.

This book is inspired by the British Airways London Eye observation wheel, one of the most exciting new structures the capital has ever seen. Located on the South Bank, and rising 135m above the ground, the magnificent London Eye will dwarf most of the city’s most famous landmarks. It offers visitors both a thrilling ride and an incredibly exciting new perspective on the city.

From Docklands, the Dome and the booming River Thames developments, through the heart of the City and West End, leading aerial photographer Jason Hawkes captures the drama of London’s ever-changing skyline. Sections include: The River, Skyline London, London at Work, and London at Night.

The photographs will be accompanied by an introductory text and short captions. The book will be the perfect memento for visitors to the Wheel who wish to remember the excitement and of their ride and have a visual feast to savour, as well as those who are nervous about riding on the Wheel, but who still want the views (without the vertigo!).
