As the Royal Wedding looms close, you can now follow a 3D version of the route to be taken without having to set foot out of the comfort of your home all thanks to Google Earth.
Starting at Westminster Abbey, the 3D route takes in the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, Number 10 Downing Street, Horse Guards Parade, the Royal Mall (with 3D trees lining the route), before finally reaching Buckingham Palace.
To see all the landmarks and greenery in Google Earth, tick the '3D buildings box' in the left-hand panel under “Layers,” then type “London” into the search bar on the top left and use the navigation controls on the upper right to zoom in, spin around and tilt the view. Or users can access the shot via visiting ‘Earth View’ on Google Maps in the browser.
For my Spanish friends who may have never visited London, there are thousands of 3D aerial images of other historic buildings in the capital now available via Google Earth. You can see Britain’s capital city without having to pend a penny (or should I say a centimo).
