East London - Wolf In Shadow

This is an aerial picture of East London by professional photographer, Jason Hawkes. His work is superb and there is loads more on his website so follow the link for a treat.

This is exactly the area where my next novel, Wolf In Shadow, is set so I have sent a copy to my publisher. Wargamers will note the Excel building (white-edged, squarish, top left), where Salute is now held.
