Anyone who has seen almost any (especially older) British TV series
probably recognizes the old Thames Television logo screen:

Question: What's wrong with that picture?

That the weather is good :-) ?
The water surface looks like it is curved, from the reflections. I don't
know how they did this montage...

Easy : it's a faked reflection, the 'mirrored' image is the same. A real
reflection shoud be seen with a lower point of view

No, that's not what I was looking for.

Ah yes, I remember this...

I'm not an expert, but I'm fairly sure those landmark buildings aren't
all in the same place.

It looks like a montage of pictures rather than one photo.
The photo's not an accurate reflection of the London skyline. That dome
looks like St Paul's cathedral. St Paul's is much further upstream than
Tower Bridge, as are the houses of parliment.
Tower Bridge is right next to the Tower of London, not to Big Ben

Right. Probably because of this photo many foreigners have a wrong
notion of how close the three landmarks really are to each other.
