| | Paternoster Square | view slideshow | view thumbnails [ 27 images ] | |  | Not so full of smug Cristal Swigging, Pinstriped, Porsche driving stock brokers as it once was, we're off to the home of the London Financial institution which is the Stock Exchange. Paternoster Square is fairly lucky to be here today with no fewer than three 'masterplans' to redevelop it. It was modern versus traditional and what we've ended up with can only be described as a bit of a mish-mash. But it's not without a certain visual impact.
In the centre is the aptly named Paternoster Square Column, it being just that with a gold leaf covered flaming copper urn – no less – at the top. Much more interesting is Elisabeth Frink's Shepherd and Sheep (well to me anyway).
It's a buzzing place (well certainly during the week – not sure how it fairs at the weekend) so there's plenty of people to be seen and snapped, not to mention interesting angles and artwork. | | | Directions: | Get to stand in front of St.Pauls and look for a few colums to your left as you look at the fascade. Pass through these to get into the square. | | | Map: | Click here for the map. | |
