Epsom may be a little way from the capital but some of the big smoke's sites seem ever present.

However, last Tuesday (January 16), Epsom Downs was treated to the glorious sight of The Shard blazing in sunlight.

Phillip Cavallini, who took this photograph, said: "I was driving over Epsom Downs yesterday and saw The Shard totally lit up with the sun shining directly on it.

"I pulled over in the car park and took about a dozen photos with my Samsung S8 and other people did the same.

"It was an incredible sight."
