The architecture of this church differs greatly from that normally seen in the UK. There is some stained glass in the roof behind the steeple but because of the angle of the image it is very hard to see! This is the Catholic German church of St Boniface's, originally built here in 1875, to serve German-speaking immigrants. German bombing in 1940 almost destroyed it. It was rebuilt in 1960 and now serves a much wider clientele within the business and tourist domains from the City and the West End. Looking south-southeast.
