When you live in London you don't really pay much attention to the landmarks.Anyways,most of our REAL landmarks are no more eg:Red phoneboxes,Routemaster Buses,all thanks to Ken 'wankstain' Livingstone
And don't you just love the congestion charge?
Lovely place is London.

I live a stone throw from Heathrow Airport and try to avoid the City of London like the plague.Full of tourist tossers as well as camera carriers acting like they've never seen a building before in their lives !laugh!
Soho/Chinatown used to be worth a visit,but even that's become boring
One London landmark though i'll never get bored of is of course my spiritual home,which is Stamford Bridge !happy!Trumpton wrote:

But the view from Waterloo bridge as the sunset is going down and you have parliament, the wheel and to the right, Canary wharf and...well just a great view.
Ooh and altohugh not officially in london, the view from Richmond Hill and also sitting on the Richmond riverside, legs dangling over the egde, supping a pint of 10 on a balmy summers evening. Everyone singing (ok this is after a rugby m,atch and it can't really be called singing) and NOT 1 FIGHT!!!!!!!!
