The Monument to the Great Fire of London
Check out the imposing Monument to the 1666 fire designed by two of our greatest architects, Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke. Then discover the exact location where this most devastating event in London's history started.
St. Dunstan In The East
Enter this extraordinary garden which sits inside the shell of a church destroyed in the Blitz of WW2. Certainly one of the most incredible locations in London.
30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin)
Stand among the forest of iconic skyscrapers in the heart of the financial district. Dwarfing the 16th century church in their midst, the view of the Gherkin, Cheesegrater, Walkie Talkie, Scalpel and Lloyds Building is simply breathtaking.
Leadenhall Market
This 19th century architectural masterpiece is simply wonderful. Adorned with dragons and shields of St George, it has been the location of a market place for nearly two thousand years! Not surprisingly it was used by film makers for the first Harry Potter movie...
