Festival Gardens is a green space just outside St Paul’s
Cathedral, on its south-east corner. Lots of people were relaxing on the grass
and around it, and the sun was setting on a beautiful blue-sky day.

The remaining tower of the church called St Augustine
Watling Street - redesigned by Sir Christopher Wren in 1687 but bombed during
WWII - now part of the choir school for St Paul's Cathedral (a 1967 building).
There is a water feature >
and the statue The Young Lovers, by Georg Ehrlich >
Our last view of St Paul’s Cathedral was from Watling
Street, while walking past Barbecoa, one
of Jamie Oliver’s restaurants situated in a large glass-walled building and
“high-end and high street shopping centre” called One New Change (Gordon Ramsey
has his Bread Street Kitchen in here too).
Oh I think I see a gherkin! AND a cheese grater! We are
in luck…
Careful with the shard of glass...
