Buildings around the Monument, viewed from Shad Thames

Image: © Robert Lamb Taken: 13 Nov 2011

The Monument has some rather unusual-looking buildings. The slender building on the right is on the corner of Great Tower Street and Mark Lane and is called Minster Court, the domed building in the centre is Sugar Quay, a block of flats on Lower Thames Street. In front of that is the former Port of London Authority building (now a restaurant, cocktail bar and multi-storey car park) and the building which looks rather like R2D2 is 20 Gracechurch Street, a shopping complex at the corner of Gracechurch and Lombard Streets. Looking northwest.
