Here is one of a series of pictures of London at night by Jason Hawkes, who specialises in aerial photography. They are spectacular and beautiful.

As a pilot of single-engine aircraft, I rarely get to see London this close because of land-clear rules. But I remember seeing something very like this when I was flying in the right seat of a TBM-700 returning to Biggin Hill. It’s views and pictures like this remind me what a wonderful privilege a pilots licence is.
