Having lunch in Paternoster Square
The cathedral church of St St Paul's built by Sir Christopher Wren stands on the site of the medieval cathedral destroyed by the great fire of London in 1666. The outlines of these two cathedrals and their different alignments are displayed here. The adjacent garden is laid out on the site of the former chapter house.

Wharfinger Cottage
There has been a cottage on this site for about 200 years and was originally the home of the Controller of Tower Wharf, known as Wharfinger. Until the 19th century, the dockside was very busy. Military supplies such as gunpowder, weapons etc were shipped to and from the Tower and stored under the Wharfinger’s supervision.
