Dec 2011: Walking up Ludgate Hill

After my walk up Fleet Street, I reach Ludgate Hill. This is one of the three ancient hills in London, the others being Cornill and Tower Hill. This street runs from St. Paul’s Churchyard to Fleet Street. Photobucket

This is also the site of Ludgate, which was the westernmost gate in the old Roman Gate.

That marks the spot of the Central Criminal Court, with a golden statue of Justice.

On the right, this strange looking building, one layer is stone and then top layer is brick.

The chimneys looks really strange.

Very strange structure.

Wet and shining roads and pavements.

I cross the road to the east side of the street.

Hmmm, guitars…
