The architecture of this Georgian street contrasts dramatically with the ultra-modern 201 Bishopsgate building that has yet to open its doors to its corporate tenants. The Water Poets pub is on the right. Note also the real gas lamp outside no. 18 - the remarkable time capsule created by Dennis Severs (see Image).
