Looking East down the Thames from The Monument: A Historical Panorama of London's Iconic Landmarks This evocative photograph captures a breathtaking view of the River Thames looking eastwards from The Monument in London. The Monument, a 62-metre high Doric column, was built in 1677 to commemorate the Great Fire of London that ravaged the city in 1666. In this image, taken in 1913, the monument stands proudly against the backdrop of the iconic London skyline. To the left, the imposing Tower of London, a historic castle and fortress, dominates the scene. The Tower, built in the 11th century, has served variously as a royal palace, a prison, and a symbol of British power. Further downstream, the iconic Tower Bridge, with its distinctive bascules and suspension bridge, spans the Thames. The steeple of St Dunstan-in-the-East, designed by renowned English architect Christopher Wren, can be seen in the distance on the left. The church, which dates back to the 11th century, was largely destroyed during the Blitz in 1941. Today, the site is a public garden, offering visitors a tranquil oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and enduring beauty of London. The Thames, which has played a central role in the city's development, is a constant presence, connecting past and present. The image invites us to reflect on the many stories and memories that have shaped this vibrant and historic city.
