Norton Folgate - Looking Towards Bishopsgate
Image: © Martin Addison Taken: 13 Feb 2009
A pedestrian, dwarfed by the surrounding buildings, reads his newspaper as he walks. The City of London boundary marker on the right stands on the corner of the new 201 Bishopsgate building. Quite how the building gets a Bishopsgate address is a mystery as it is not on that street at all! Beyond, the Gherkin blocks out the sun. The street is quiet in the late morning as the city workers have to wait a bit longer for their lunch breaks.
