| | Fenchurch Place | view slideshow | view thumbnails [ 29 images ] | |  | This week is a bit of an ashamed discovery for me. I have to say that in my near twenty years in the capital I've never been, nor seen, Fenchurch Street Station – that jewel of the Monopoly Board. So this week we're heading for it's concourse – namely Fenchurch Place.
The station itself was the first in the City and designed by one William Tite in 1841 and rebuilt in 1854 to a design by George Berkeley. Unlike the other London stations this one doesn't have an associated underground station.
Set in it's concourse the station has quite a bit of charm and like most places in the city you can either go there and find it absolutely rammed or go at the weekend to find it deserted. | | | Directions: | Probably easiest from Aldgate Tube – walk down aldgate until it turns into Fenchurch Street and the left into Fenchurch Place – road access on one side of the 'square' and pedestrian on the other. | | | Map: | Click here for the map. | |
