The record for the world’s largest panoramic photograph has been broken today by a new image, viewable online and captured from the top of the iconic BT Tower in London last year.

The 360-degree photo weighs in at a staggering 320 gigapixels and 48,640 individual frames, smashing the previous attempt in London – which captured a still impressive 80 gigapixels from Centrepoint in 2010.

The image, which offers a lot of grey clouds and miniature people commuting across town, was shot over a period of three days by Jeffrey Martin, Holger Schulze and Tom Mills, who work for a firm specializing in panoramic photography called 360Cities.
