QUEEN ELIZABETH HALL AT SOUTHBANK CENTRE
Home of arts, culture and the 1951 Festival of Britain
Situated in London’s cultural and creative South Bank district, the Southbank
Centre is Europe’s largest centre for arts and culture. The area had fallen
into a state of disrepair before 1951 Festival of Britain, but since then, it
has become. hub from which the surrounding area emanates.
Since its initial construction, the site itself has grown and encouraged the
development of the Hayward Gallery, BFI Southbank and National Theatre- plus
the imposing London Eye.
Concocted by a group of visionary young architects, it was designed from the
inside out.
Its functional concrete façade lets the facilities do the talking, although
the jumble of stacked columns and external jutting structures means the centre
has a unique silhouette. Similar to the nearby Barbican Centre, the complex’s
functionalist structure has since been dressed up with quirks of design which
have come to define it the infamous yellow staircase and gardened terraces,
which can be quickly snapped from afar thanks to the PowerShot ZOOM’s 3-step
zoom.
Busy and bustling, the centre attracts millions of visitors a year and is an
ideal place to capture culture and arts capture the juxtaposition of colourful
performances against the brutalist and functional design in full HD 30fps with
the PowerShot ZOOM. Alternatively, head out onto Waterloo Bridge to take in
the whole centre’s incredible outline or take to the skies on the world-famous
London Eye to scan the whole footprint.
Stand at the bottom of this famous yellow staircase which is juxtaposed to the
rest of the building’s brutalist design.
SHAD THAMES
A peek into the mercantile history of the East-End
Largely a residential and hospitality area of the city, the Shad Thames
district of the city was once known as the larder of London – the network of
busy warehouses was used to store and unload cargo from ships docked east of
Tower Bridge.
The narrow-cobbled street parallel to the river is lined with high-rowed
Victorian warehouses creating an imposing and spectacular visual.
It’s difficult to place yourself when standing within the terraced streets of
the Shad, which block out any reference points from the surrounding city. The
iron bridges connecting the two rows provide the finishing touches to one of
London’s most unique and iconic views.
The sun hangs low between the terraces during the summer, creating shadows
across the buildings for you to capture with the PowerShot ZoOM’s Full HD,
30fps video function. The Optical 4-axis Image Stabilization helps to keep
things steady as you traverse the cobbles.
Whether it’s Butler’s Wharf, China Wharf or the name Shad Thames itself, the
signage in the area all points to its commercial past.
Using the PowerShot ZOOM’s powerful 3-step zoom means you can look for evidence of the buildings’ previously functional use, whether it’s metal brackets for pulleys or swinging cranes folded against the exterior walls, it’s easy to get swept up in the atmosphere of trade and commerce. To find out more, head to the London Docklands Museum in West India Quay.
From the street below, you get the most striking view of the blue walkways connecting the iconic London terraces.

corner of the map.

and fields is now a favourite of locals looking to escape the city and soak in
some sights. The PowerShot ZoOM’s lightweight, tiny profile is ideal for a
long day in the park, covering its 180 acres.

Admiral Horatio Nelson was shot at that very battle, the National Maritime
Museum is an incredible insight into Britain’s naval past.

London’s rich history in the foreground. Explore every detail with the PowerShot ZOOM’s range of focal lengths.
