Pole Hill, Chingford, London E4
Looking down Pole Hill on this exceptionally clear afternoon, the London skyline could be clearly seen - the Gherkin, former NatWest Tower, The London Eye and the Telecom Tower could all easily be identified with the naked eye.

Obelisk, Pole Hill, Chingford, London E4
This pillar was erected in 1824 under the direction of the Reverend John Pond, MA, Astronomer Royal. It was placed on the Greenwich Meridian and its purpose was to indicate the direction of true north from the transit telescope of the Royal Observatory. The Greenwich Meridian as changed in 1850 and adopted by international agreement in 1884 as the line of zero longitude passes 19 feet to the east of this pillar.
At that point (19 feet / 5.8m east) there is a smaller concrete obelisk, which marks the true modern position of the Greenwich Meridian. The pillar however was not erected to mark the meridian. It is an Ordnance Survey trig point placed here to mark the top of the hill. The fact that it is on or near the Meridian is a coincidence.Image]
