In the shadow of the Shard
It's hard to believe now but 350 years ago the area now pointed at by the shadow of the shard was completely destroyed in the fire of London in 1666. Samuel Pepys said in his famous diary that the fire was over a mile across in length. St Pauls which is the domed cathedral near the top middle/left of the image, replaced the original cathedral destroyed in the fire.
