The Monument
The Monument to the 1666 Great Fire of London was constructed in the 1670's, and is 62 metres (202 feet) in height. There are 311 steps up to the viewing platform, from where excellent views of the River Thames and the city of London can be seen.
On the Monument's pedestal, as seen here, is depicted king Charles II with his brother, James, Duke of York, surrounded by liberty, architecture, and science, arranging for London's rebuilding.
