Paternoster Square
Paternoster Square used to be one of the most dreadful spaces in London. A dreary void inbetween 60's office blocks was in such stark contrast to the glory of Wren's St Pauls. Thankfully, they have torn the old down and turned it into a truly human space. Hemmed in on all sides, it's another of London's Hidden spaces. Do look it up if you are in the area.
This statue of shepherd & sheep was created byElisabeth Frink.

post a commentDidn't you mean "HAMed in on all sides"?
I don't think I remember it when it was dreary.. but it is a lovely space now. And I love this sculpture.
This is one of my favourite city sculptures - thanks for posting it.
A good place for sitting and eating your lunch - there is a good sandwich bar near the Old Bailey. Buy a panino, sit, eat and watch.
The toilets get my vote for the best public loos in London as well.
Forgot to mention that the last time I was there a family were arguing over whether or not the column in the middle was the Monument...
