Was out and about round the Brick Lane area last week and got this overlooking Commercial Street, near to the Truman brewery.

And of course the obligatory looking back at the city shot, taken from directly above Brick Lane.

Nice pics… I flew right over the old brewery chimney about 5 odd months ago… There’s a perfect TOAL location right by my former primary school! (Out of hours and weekends obivously)

Nice shot!
I still have a video to put together, not sure if what I have of the chimney will be usable yet. But I was really struggling trying to find somewhere to take off from along brick lane, I just couldn’t get enough satellites locked.
Ended up having to take a walk quite far down a side road, taking off and then walking it out to where I wanted to film.
Personally keep away from Brick Lane itself… It’s too busy, even in the evenings and you’re very restricted VLOS wise.
Here’s my TOAL location… It’s a dead end road so no passing vehicle traffic. Keep out of Allen Gardens, LBTH Byelaws on drones…
X marks the spot…Brewery location within the blue box.
