After reading this post I’ve been investigating a bit cause that photo was haunting my soul. And, in my opinion, it could only be done from the BBC building. i am gonna explain why.

– This is the photo on that twitter. We see the clock in that tower thing, and that semicircular building at right. Keep that in mind.

– The photo could be taken from this 4 places. Place 3 and 4 are impossible because from 3 we couldn’t see the semicircular building. and 4 doesn’t match the clock view from the tower.

– So, 1 & 2 (which is BBC)
I initialy though it was taken from 1, but I used google Maps a bit more and saw this:

– The building attached to that round tower is shorter so we couldn’t get that clock perspective, clearly from higher a place.
So I think it’s from the BBC, exacly from spot 2. Also if you look at the first pic (the twitter one) you can see at left a wall with a pattern that looks exactly like this one in the BBC.

Please let me know if you think it was taken from any other place and why. This is driving me crazy. I am 99% sure it’s from the BBC building.

Signal boosting for less drunker folks to look at and figure out.

Spot two is in fact the only place you could get the shot from.

But- doesn’t ContactSH canonically own a drone? This picture could easily be taken by a drone.  I’m not sure of London’s drone laws however, so whether or not this would be allowed- I don’t know.  It is however another possibility.  

Though to slightly counter my own point, he does immediately tweet after “I’m not going to jump”, so the Sherlock associated with the acc is canonically on the building, however, the person behind the acc may not have been.

@antisocial-otaku twitter agrees with you. Its an interesting development for sure.

Even though they have access to a drone, it is a highly expensive drone that costs over 5,000$ to purchase and is also the same drone type that BBC happens to have among their aerial photography fleet.  The Inspire Pro Plus: DJI X5 Camera.  

In addition, I doubt they would be allowed to fly it so close to the company building without permission from BBC building owners.

There is a rail along the roof near where the shot could be taken and it is more likely someone walked out onto that roof to take a picture.
