Why not explore the nearby areas of City, Barbican, Clerkenwell, Southwark, Aldgate, Spitalfields, Shoreditch, Borough, Holborn and Islington

"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."

The commanding architecture at the heart of London's busiest financial district certainly leaves a lasting impression.

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.
