Sir Thomas Foxwell Buxton in Brick Lane
The blue plaque marks the residence of the anti-slavery campaigner and MP who in 1823 formed the Society for the Extinction of the Slave Trade, aimed at total abolition. In 1824 he succeeded William Wilberforce as head of the anti-slavery party in parliament, continuing the struggle, until the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833 freed all enslaved people in the British Empire. Buxton Street runs east from here.

Folgate Street, Spitalfields
18th century Huguenot weavers' houses line Folgate Street; they were saved from demolition by a concerted campaign in the 1960s. Overshadowing these are the ultra-modern Broadgate Tower and associated 201 Bishopsgate building. The 'A frame' structure of the tower is designed to provide structural strength; unlike conventionally-designed skyscrapers this building does not have a central core - necessary to distribute weight away from the raft across the railway out of Liverpool Street station on which it is built.

Norton Folgate - Looking Towards Bishopsgate
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.
