Peeking through...

I was sitting in our London office today and, looking left, saw this corner tower of St Brides Church through the more modern surroundings.

From Wikipedia: "St Bride's Church is a church in the City of London, England. The building's most recent incarnation was designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1672 in Fleet Street in the City of London, though Wren's original building was largely gutted by fire during the London Blitz in 1940. Due to its location in Fleet Street, it has a long association with journalists and newspapers. The church is a distinctive sight on London's skyline and is clearly visible from a number of locations. Standing 226 feet (69m) high, it is the second tallest of all Wren's churches, with only St Paul's itself having a higher pinnacle. This is also the church that inspired Cassandra Clare’s London Institute in her Shadowhunter Chronicles novels."

Great composition and textures. I do not like the crowd in the building. You can not see the charm of architecture at all.

@haskar London can be very crowded. It often masks beautiful buildings, but also leads to some nice surprises!

The beautiful towers brightens up the scene, amongst all the rather boring new structures.
