  • I agree with him, that though that the view is only of the keep, not the whole 'Tower of London' complex. I think realistically, given available viewpoints, the only complete view is from a neighbouring building, such as this one. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 18:39, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • However, to take a picture from that angle you would only be able to get the outer walls and perhaps the walls immediately beyond, missing out the Tower's most iconic feature. An aerial photograph of the sort Diliff highlighted is the only way to get most of the castle in shot (hence why I added that particular image; the one it replaced was too busy).
