Route 247: Barkingside to Romford - City on the Horizon

Route 247: Barkingside to Romford - City on the Horizon

There are some routes where, even if only for a mile or two, you can feel so far away from London, surrounded by countryside. As the 247 wended its way towards Romford, I caught a glimpse of The City’s taller buildings on the horizon. There is a similar view when you drive south down the M11. It comes well outside the M25, but you can definitely make out Canary Wharf in the distance and it always makes me feel like I’m nearly home, despite the fact I’m still a good hour away. This one’s probably worth clicking through to get the maximum resolution.

    Well spotted. Did you take this while bus was on the move?

      My initial answer was yes, but having looked at it again I’m not sure. There’s no ‘movement’ in it.
