Légende

The Monument, City of London, c1955. Monument to the Great Fire of London (1666), standing at the junction of Monument Street and Fish Street Hill. The Monument comprises a Doric column built of Portland stone topped with a gilded urn of fire. It was designed by Robert Hooke and constructed between 1671 and 1677. The viewing platform near the top of the Monument is reached by a narrow winding staircase of 311 steps. A mesh cage was added in the mid-19th century to prevent people jumping off, after six people died by suicide there between 1788 and 1842. Midland Bank on the left.
