Our return flight home included a layover in London.  Our flight in arrived before sunrise and brought us up from the south over to the east end and then back across Docklands, south of Westminster and in to Heathrow.  I fortunately had a window seat although I was a bit far from the window itself so there was a certain amount of shooting while reaching across.  Trying to pan appropriately for the movement of the aircraft was a touch tricky but I managed to exploit the low light capabilities of the camera to get some okay shots.

We flew across Biggin Hill and I was able to shoot almost straight down on the runway and ramp areas.  Then we came up towards Woolwich and I could see the ferries and London City Airport.  From there it was not far to the Thames Barrier and then the O2 arena.  The high rises of Docklands were next.  On to Tower Bridge with the Shard and London Bridge Station.  Next stop was The Palace of Westminster with the London Eye and Waterloo alongside.  Last was Buckingham Palace and Knightsbridge.  Some fun sights to see.  In daylight, I can navigate this area easily but, when it is dark, you have to work from key references.
