Google Maps UK adds satellite images

The UK version of the great Google Maps application has recently added aerial images to the site.
Just click the Satellite link in the top right hand side.

Of course not much of the country has the high level images, but they seem to have the major cities. For example here is the London Eye.

Also, unlike the road maps, the satellite images seem to cover a lot of Europe, here is a slightly strange looking Eiffel tower for example!!

Its pretty cool stuff!! :)
