St. Pauls area.

St. Paul's Cathedral is in the City of London on top of Ludgate Hill, London's highest point.

This facade is the one you'd first see when approaching from the Millenium Bridge and it is 464 feet to the top of the dome. We didn't go in as the entry fee is exhorbitant and photography inside is prohibited.

Fleet Street, London, England, Great Britain
St. Pauls area.

Fleet Street looking east towards St. Paul's Cathedral. Fleet Street began as the road from the commercial City of London to the political hub at Westminster and the length of Fleet Street marks the expansion of the City in the 14th century.

At the east end of the street is where the River Fleet flowed against the medieval walls of London (it now flows underground) and at the west end is the Temple Bar Monument which marks the current city limits, extended to there in 1329.
