Default New St Paul's vista

Owing to the demolition of an office building on New Change a view of St Paul's from Cheapside has been revealed which is quite striking.

My pictures do not do justice. Instead of peeping through other buildings you have an uninterrupted view of the east side of Wren's masterpiece.

Let's hope they fill in the hole with something that does justice to the view they will destroy.

Big,
Make the most of it.
There is a Church in the centre of Manchester known as "The Hidden Gem", then they knocked down a building and for about six months it was not hidden; now it is again.

Sir Christopher Wren
Said: I am going out to dine with some men.
If anybody calls,
Tell them I'm designing St Paul's

(I believe this is due to Edmund Clerihew Bentley)

Splendid shots. The cathedral looks magnificent.
