Top Ten for Photography

Don't just take our word for it! Peterborough Cathedral has recently been listed as one of the ten most photogenic buildings in the UK.

The top ten list features landmarks both new and old. The earliest is Peterborough Cathedral, which dates back to the early 12th Century, at number six just ahead of the newest, the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth - which was completed last year. Fujifilm Image Services commissioned the survey to identify the most photogenic landmarks across the country.

The top ten architectural wonders that people most want to photograph were named as;

1. The London Eye (completed 1999)
2. Big Ben (1858)
3. Bullring, Birmingham (2003)
4. Edinburgh Castle (1574)
5. 30 St. Mary Axe (The Gherkin), London (2004)
6. Peterborough Cathedral (c.1118)
7. Spinnaker Tower, Portsmouth (2005)
8. Tower Bridge, London (1893)
9. Royal Liver Building, Liverpool (1911)
10. York Minster (1408)

Darren Peake, marketing manager at Fujifilm, comments: “The UK’s top ten landmarks highlight the fantastic diversity of architecture and design that is on offer in the UK. While London is home to a number of modern and historic gems, the top ten features buildings from up and down the country, with fine historic examples of our heritage sitting alongside modern examples of UK innovation." He said: "Peterborough Cathedral is one of the most beautiful buildings in Europe and it is a photographer's dream."
