This chap also does some sunning aerial pics. If you get the chance to see one of his exhibitions, they are worth seeing.

If you go here and click on "slideshow" there are some larger resolution images of his shots

He (Yann Arthus-Bertrand) is here too:

YANN ARTHUS-BERTRAND.ORG

Always worth reading up on what variety of craft he used.

And this duo (Adrian Warren, Dae Sasitorn) do a very decent job of showing the UK at its best:

Aerial Photography from around the world - Adrian Warren photo library

And both have some cracking books out, good to inspire the punters, good for christmas gifts.

(The postcard reproductions can make nice gifts when stuck in the inexpensive frames/mount designed for postcards - got some hung up at home)

Flying overhead London
 
Some great pictures here:

but I thought helicopter flight was only allowed along the river? How is this done (legally)?

It is SE helicopters that have to follow the Helilanes (one of which follows the course of the Thames). ME helicopters can route direct (avoiding a couple of prohibited areas).
