4A1_Primrose Hill

Viewing instructions:
All images should be viewed in ‘full screen’ mode by clicking the ‘+’ icon in the top right of the image. When the image is opened in full screen mode you will see a scale bar at the bottom of each image. Use the scroll wheel zoom function and a ruler held against the screen to ensure the scale bar correctly measures 10cm when viewed at a normal viewing distance (approximately arms length). The size of objects in the view will then equate approximately to the size they would appear when viewed at the scene. This technique is known as ‘Real Scale’ viewing

LVMF – Primrose Hill 4
Primrose Hill is in publicly accessible park land north of Regents Park. There is one viewing location at the summit of the hill. The two Assessment Points are identified in the draft 4A.1 and 4A.2 share the same position at the summit. Each point is the starting position for a Protected Vista towards Strategically Important Landmarks identified in the draft LVMF.

Assessment Point 4A.1:
Assessment Point 4A.1 is orientated towards St. Paul’s Cathedral. The position is identical to that described in the current LVMF guidance published in 2007.
The Viewing Corridor at the centre of the Cathedral is 130m wide, 10m wider than the 2007 guidance and encloses the main Cathedral dome and Western Towers
The Left Lateral Assessment Area has been widened from 70m in 2007 to 110m in 2009 at the dome of St. Paul’s.
