Name of London Building

[follyfancier]

can anyone identify this building please
I saw it near the end of the Jubilee river pageant just over to the right from Tower bridge
it looked like a large mansion with round grey turrets

Tower of London?

Could you provide a picture?

do you mean Blackfriars bridge rather than Tiower bridge? There is one there.

[Hopkirk]

Nice one Chuck!

Looking which way? If looking upstream, towards the start, then it must be the Tower. Can't think of anything like that on the South of the river; Southwark Crown Court is a) reddish and b) nobody's idea of a mansion and c) lacking round turrets, but apart from that, it is more or less in the right area, looking downstream !

this is the one I meant, the City of London School

There seemed to be a lot of pictures of an elderly lady in a white hat too - anyone know who she is ?

[follyfancier]

it would be on the northern side of the river but I may have got mixed up exactly where it was located as it was from one of the overhead shots on the tv and I only caught a quick glimpse of it , a bit like a castle if that helps

[Hopkirk]

I'm not falling for it a second time, Folly my dear.

Three suggestions - The Custom House, right by The Tower, or Vintners' Hall, a bit upstream, or Somerset House. All sort of fit your description. You can see pictures on Google images or on their respective Wikipedia pages.

LOL, Hopkirk, I suspect you may be right.

[follyfancier]

thank you to those who gave suggestions but it was not anything like them,the turrets were rounded and came to a point similar to those on Balmoral or Glamis castle and it may have been a bit higher than the other buildings too.
this really is a serious question and not a joke

[Hopkirk]

Have you looked at a picture of The Tower of London?

It sounds like it.

what side of the river, north or south? (Tower of London is on the north side.)

[follyfancier]

I have found it again on I player on the highlights ,it must have been before Tower bridge
at 44.56 just after the War Horse on top of the Theatre ,the Royal Barge goes under a bridge, it is just behind the bridge and there is a large building with a green roof to the left of it

The Royal Horseguards Hotel
