I do a lot of time-lapse, and I'm looking for suitable bird's eye views of London.
Anyone able to help?

Yes I live up near Harrow on the hill. There is a little park at the top of my road and you can see right down to Canary Wharf and the City from there. Wembley Stadium is in the fore ground too.
The name of the park is Elms Lane Park, HA0 2NP, https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=waterloo+station&ie=UTF-8

very nice, but £220 an hour?
Actually I'm looking for something a lot closer to town. For 3D you should ideally use 20mm lenses, which means having to be very close to your subjects.

The Shard? How high up do you want to go?

I've shot from a tall building in Elephant & Castle for my short 'AK', which was great- central, high-up and providing a good close-up view of many key London landmarks. I find that the top of tower blocks are generally stunning views- but can sometimes be tricky in terms of accessing (you may need to speak to their management first to get permission- often best to find the name of the block, google it and get the management details from there) and depending on how long you want to spend up there (if timelapse, I'm guessing quite a while?)
Hope this helps though
