Aerial photographer Jason Hawkes flies and photographs over London every week of the year, leaning out of the door of an AS355 helicopter. ‘It’s amazing how London keeps changing, and it’s a great privilege to fly over the city documenting this,’ says Hawkes. He's kindly shared some of his favourite views over the city from the past year below – follow him on Twitter at @jasonhawkesphot and view more of his dizzying work at jasonhawkes.com.
