Next End

Old Start of the A4 & A40

The A4 & A40 used to start in the City of London. Due to the IRA bombing campian in the late 1960's-early 90's, the roads around bank were declasfided and now are unnumbered.

A view of St. Pauls Catheval & a more modern building from the Thames.

A1 Aldersgate Street

London Wall
Looking east on a quiet day. The car looks like an Austin Cambridge.

B500 - west end (from pavement level)

Not such a good vantage point, but with more time to compose the shot! One of the gatehouses of Ely Place can be seen in this view. The taxi behind the bus is at the Farringdon Street junction. Traffic congestion in this street is much worse since the City of London closed off Shoe Lane/St Bride Street - but this is a Camden street, so perhaps the City doesn't mind! Note that of the eleven vehicles in this queue, only one is liable for the congestion charge!

This is the London end of the A1. It meets the A40 at St Paul's Tube Station.

One way or two? Old Bailey in London Originally uploaded to Coppermine on May 23, 2006 by t1(M)

Threadneedle Street, London EC2
Looking down Threadneedle Street towards the junction with Old Broad Street.

City Road, London EC1
Looking across from close to the entrance to Bunhill Fields.

A5201, Old Street

London- four bridges across the Thames
Looking upstream from Tower Bridge, we see firstly London Bridge, then the Cannon Street rail bridge, then the Millennium footbridge and finally Blackfriars Bridge (the rail bridge at Blackfriars obscuring the road bridge just beyond). These are the only bridges that cross into the boundaries of the City of London (on the northern bank, right).

Moorgate, towards City Road, London

Looking westwards down Cannon Street
Martin Lane is on the opposite side of the road.

Bank Road Junction

City of London- London Wall
Modern buildings straddle this busy dual carriageway on the northern edge of the City of London.

Upper Thames Street

Watling Street
The narrow Watling Street is one of the few roads in the City of London not to have been widened after the Great fire of London and has kept its medieval width.

Blackfriars bridges
High tide on the Thames between the Blackfriars road (on the left) and rail bridges. Looking towards the north bank.

Castle Baynard Street

Junction of Cheapside and Wood Street
It is unusual to see people strolling in the road within the City of London, even on a Saturday but these people are quite safe. It is closed for a Mediaeval Market- just one of a number of events organised as part of the 2008 London Festival of Architecture.

Aldersgate Street on the left and Long Lane top right.

Pilgrim Street

Farringdon Road, London EC1M

Chancery Lane
This narrow road is near the law courts and Inns of Court, so most of the shops cater for the legal profession.

A40 Holborn Viaduct and City Temple, EC1
