Inside the Monument - London

The monument was designed in 1671 by Sir Christoper Wren, to commemorate the Great Fire of London. It is202 feet tall - the exact distance it stands from the bakers in Pudding Lane, where the Great Fire of 1666 started.

There are 311 steps to the viewing platform.

This is a view from the bottom.

The staircase is very narrow, not ideal if you have a large camera bag!

I have some infrared pictures taken from the top of the monument in my infrared set.
