I am setting up what will eventually be a commercial site about London.

Not living nearby, I need to get a handful of images for use on the site.(scenic shots, perhaps of a few of the main tourist spots)

Looking up free images on Google, brings up vast numbers of msites, but the licence agreements are a bit puzzling to the newcomer.

Any advice would be most welcome.

I suppose I could take an overnight bus or train to London (from Newcastle) and spend the day taking my own photos.

Kind regards !

Travelling all that way to take some photos is going to work out a bit pricey with train fares. It'd be much more cost effective to use some site like iStockphoto and buy some licenced images?

Independent travel isn't the best idea
