St Paul's on Ludgate Hill

Sitting on the highest point of The City of London is St.Paul’s Cathedral on Ludgate Hill. Established on the grounds of a Roman trading post for the city of Londinium, it is thought to be the fifth St. Paul’s Cathedral built here, and many thousands of visitors pour out from the nearby subway of St. Paul’s each day to marvel at it’s simple beauty.

The Lighthouse Building at King's Cross

King’s Cross in North London was once known as Battle Bridge! Here a bridge once crossed the River Fleet, and it was here that Boudica headed her Iceni tribe in battle against the Roman Army then guarding the city of Londinium and it’s inhabitants.

The name King’s Cross comes from an unpopular monument erected to King George IV and a Cross that once stood on the site of the now King’s Cross station.
