I can see Uranus quite clearly.

Can only see other houses from my actual house. It is a house therefore not very tall (I occupy the lower two storeys of it but the upper storeys also only see houses). On my street I can turn left and see the Shard and turn right and see the Gherkin (that pickle-shaped thing you see on drawings of the London skyline). The latter is a protected view towards the City of London but the Gherkin is the most obvious landmark.
