Let's see.  IIRC you live in the UK, correct?  I had no trouble zooming in
on London with aerial photos.  You did click on aerial map, right?
I just tried Google maps at Brad's suggestion.  It's even better.
Try again.  I got this shot of Buckingham Palace:

Say hello to Her Majesty for me the next time you stop in for tea, will you?  ;-)
