"After being set the task of redesigning St Paul's Cathedral in 1669, Sir Christopher Wren originally designed the dome with a pineapple on the top. Although it was never instated, there are, however, two on top of the western towers."
I love the buzz of the City at dusk and the stunning architecture along the cityscape. It really makes me excited to live in London.
