LONDON LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE

Can you recognise the world-famous landmarks in these extraordinary aerial photos?

High-flying snapper Jeffrey Milstein hired a helicopter to capture these spectacular pictures of the capital

STUNNING photographs of London from above capture the city as you've never seen it before.

High-flying photographer Jeffrey Milstein, renowned for his aerial photos of US cities, snaps landmarks through the open door of a helicopter.

This month he hired a chopper in London and amazingly he had just an hour to cover all the buildings he wanted to capture including Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, the glass roof of the British Museum and the Gherkin and Walkie Talkie towers in the City.
