Looking along Pentonville Road (the A501) towards the King's Cross Station area. Penton Rise (the A201) lies behind the photographer. The church-like building is known as Veolia House. Pentonville Chapel (later known as St James' Episcopal Chapel) existed on this site between 1788-1985. Following its demolition in 1985 this Palladian facsimile was built in 1990 as a mixed complex of flats and offices, including premises for Veolia Environmental Services Plc. The extended former burial ground that surrounds it on three sides now serves as a public garden known as The Joseph Grimaldi Garden, after the late-18th century stage clown whose grave can be seen within it.
