For most Londoners, the most common view they enjoy as they trudge to work is the back of another commuter's head but now, thanks to the Streetmuseum app, anyone traipsing through the capital's streets can step back in time to see what London looked like in the 19th and 20th century compared with today - all in the same image.
The pictures below are part of a series in which historic and contemporary images are blended together, allowing users to see just how much London's streets have been transformed.
