Photoblog: 04 Feb 2010

St Andrew Undershaft is a Church of England church located at St Mary Axe, in Aldgate ward of the City of London, near the Lloyd's Building. It is a rare example of a City church that has managed to escape both the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the Second World War bombing during the London Blitz of 1940-1941.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called (Officially) England's Best Buildings, and we'd love to have this added to the group! -- Seen in my contacts' photos. (?)

Great composition. The architecture is stunning on both. That said, I'm curious as to why there's no mention of "The Gherkin", too, as it is the big, imposing image in the background.
