We’ve seen panoramas of Paris, Dresden, and Prague but now we have London. It’s the largest spherical panoramic of its kind in the world:

The image of London, at 360cities.net/london, has a total resolution of 80 gigapixels, or 80 billion pixels. Shot by photographer Jeffrey Martin over a period of three days from the top of the Centre Point building at the crossroads of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, the image reveals the highest-resolution view of any city that has ever been captured. From this vantage point - 36 stories up in the air - an astonishing number of landmarks, houses, skyscrapers, shops, offices, and streets are visible. Countless people at street level are observable, as well as thousands of windows, many of which reveal glimpses of life inside. In short, it is a portrait of London, the likes of which has never been made before.

Be patient as the link is very slow at present.

Have fun. :)
 
I wonder if people will kick up the same amount of fuss as they did with Google's street view. I doubt it.

Still, very impressive! Well, I haven't been able to see even one row of pixels yet because of my dire ADSL connection :(
