This view shows a part of the south bank of the River Thames, just before sunrise, reaching from Tower Bridge on the left, past City Hall and on to the Shard looming over HMS Belfast.
The image is a stitched composite of 12 high-resolution photographs, creating a final photo of more than 150 megapixels. I have a two-metre wide print of this on my wall at home, and the level of detail is incredible. It makes a focal point for the room, and always draws my eye when I walk past.
I took this photo (or perhaps more accurately, these photos) early one cold January morning on one of my regular trips to this spot right beneath the outer walls of the Tower of London. An initial plan to capture a spectacular sunrise was - as happens so often in London - scuppered by heavily overcast skies. But there was a certain mood to that moment, that feels far more like London to me than wispy orange clouds and a sparkling sun.
This city is never really asleep, but London life at night is very different thing to how the city feels during the day. This is that moment of transition when the city takes a deep collective breath before rushing headlong into the new day. It is just a moment. If you wait for it, or try to grasp it, it's already gone. But if you're out in the city at the time, you can feel it.

WHAT EXACTLY buy ARE THEY?
We sell Premium Quality Canvas Art Prints. Each artwork is printed and framed to order. We print at high resolution, using the latest Ultrachrome Eco-Solvent Inks ensuring sharp and vivid results every time. The prints are then hand-stretched around a wooden frame. You cannot see the frame itself when hung on the wall.
ARE THEY READY TO HANG?
Yes, each print comes ready to hang straight out of the box. After assembling the canvas print, we add a sawtooth hanger, so the final product is ready-to-hang out of box, no frame or assembly needed. All you'll need is a nail for the wall. To hang we recommend you simply rest the back of the frame on a nail or screw. They are perfectly secure like this and it gets the artwork nice and flush against the wall.
WHAT SORT OF CANVAS IS IT?
We use 300gsm thick white canvas material, made of 99% cotton and 1% polyester. The canvas material is resistant to breaking, moisture and fading. It is made out of recycled materials and is PVC free. It also holds a B1 fire resistance rating.
