This is incredible.

The image shows a full 360 degree view of London in incredible detail.

The 320 gigapixel image, taken by expert photography firm 360Cities, comprises more than 48,000 individual frames which have been collated into a single panorama by a powerful workstation. It is the first time that an image of this magnitude has ever been attempted, and it took several months to create due to the scale of the endeavour. If printed at normal photographic resolution, the BT Tower panorama would be 98 meters across and 24 meters tall, almost as big as Buckingham Palace. In comparison, the last record attempt for a London panorama was 80 gigapixels, taken from Centrepoint in 2010.

Very cool! You can see construction cranes all over the city.

I found a few more, like NYC at midnight on New Year's Eve 2010 (with sound)

There are also Easter eggs hidden in the photo. Can you find them?

Not yet, but there's a nakie girl at... J/K'ing!
The zoom is excellent. You can read the small print on the advertisement on a bus.

Yeah the zoom ability is INSANE. This is one FAT photo! Oh my goodness.

I found a guy staring at the camera at one time... looked kinda cool.

I just found a guy in a white shirt that says "The One Show" in the little circle park NW of the camera. You can see him looking right at the camera!

Ah, there's an Easter egg... A portrait of Queen Elizabeth and a "life is beautiful" slogan.

That's Amazing Robert, if you can North East you can see the The London Eye (big Ferris wheel), Big Ben and Battersea Power station. The only thing missing is the flying Pig (if you were looking at this in 1977).
