A couple of screenshots for your perusal, hopefully they are showing the view of where they were painted. The first one looks very much like where Martin Turner would take his creation from.

Collectables59, Thank you. :-)
They're beautiful.
Your first screen shot looks like the vantage point of somebody looking east down Fleet Street while standing next to the One Six Five building (I keyed in on the distinctive clock in front of the One Six Five building, and the one in front of the Peterborough Court Building):

Your second screen shot is much closer to St. Paul's, and looks like the vantage point of somebody looking east down Ludgate Hill while standing a bit west of the red and cream brick building inlaid with the address number "32" (across from Ludgate Square):

However, to me the screenshots and the approximated companion Google Street Views don't look like the paintings:

That's probably because all of the vantage points on Fleet Street and Ludgate Hill are pretty much in line with St. Paul's cathedral:
