If you go a bit to the right of Battersea Power Station you can see Stamford Bridge home of the Pride of London :biggrin:

Amazing. :cwm24:

Can it pick out all the illegal backyard housing ? :Erm:

Going to be scary (for some) when Google Satellite gets this good. :smile:

Google Maps Slough - I just picked ethnic majority roads Baylis Ave & Bradley Rd - quite a few have got large outbuildings with pitched roofs - 51/53 Baylis Rd look like a pair of semis knocked into one, 5 cars on the frontage and 9 in the back garden. I'd do a better job than the spy planes for Slough Council :biggrin:
