The BBC Television Centre in London was the first purpose built television production building in the world and the filming location for many of the BBC’s great shows including Doctor Who and Fawlty Towers. In the centre of the ‘concrete doughnut’ there is a statue of Helios, the Greek god of the sun.

The temple of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep overlooks the city of Chiang Mai from its mountain top location 3,520 feet above sea level. Dating back to 1383, the temple is accessed via the 290 step staircase which you can see running up to the buildings. It’s just like in Kung Fu films

Also noticible is the temple’s golden pagoda which contains holy Buddha relics attracting Buddhist pilgrims from all over the world.

On the Hawaiian island of Oahu is the Dole Pineapple Plantation where the former largest-in-the-world maze is to be found. The maze is designed to resemble a pineapple (although it is upside down to our view) and is made of 11,400 colourful Hawaii plants, including pineapples.

Thanks to David for alerting us to the impending invasion.

The Louvre Museum is housed in a former Royal Palace and is home to many priceless works of art including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and according to Dan Brown, the holy grail.

In the satellite photo you can see large queues of people waiting to enter the museum via the glass pyramid in the centre of the courtyard. You can also scroll a little west for Tuileries gardens.

P.S. Spoiler warning
