There were originally 7 gates to the City of London, all of which are now demolished: Aldersgate, Aldgate, Bishopsgate, Cripplegate, Ludgate, Moorgate and Newgate.
The sites of the "bars", the limits of the City boundaries outside (without) the walls where travellers paid their tolls, are still marked today with statues of dragons.
There are now thirteen dragons around the City of London. The dragon at Temple Bar was designed by C. B. Birch in 1880 and the two 1849 statues on Victoria Embankment which were, until 1963, mounted above the entrance to the Coal Exchange on Lower Thames Street were designed by the City Architect, J. B. Bunning.

St Paul's Cathedral, is the Anglican cathedral on Ludgate Hill, in the City of London, and the seat of the Bishop of London. The present building dates from the 17th century and is generally reckoned to be London's fifth St Paul's Cathedral, although the number is higher if every major medieval reconstruction is counted as a new cathedral.

Today my new tripod head was delivered to work, a Manfrotto 410 Geared Head, so I decided it would be prudent to give it a try on the way home. My cycle home takes me down the Victoria Embankment and across the Wilford Suspension Bridge, so it seemed like the perfect oppertunity. Here's one of the shots from this evening, I always love shooting this bridge.
As for the 410 geared head, I'm very pleased. It's a bit of a big and heavy beast, but really does allow for much greater control of framing. My previous head (Giottos MH1301) was very versatile, but always suffered from a bit of give once locked off. I'd highly recomend the manfrotto 410
