Paternoster Square Column in London
About
At the vibrant crossroads of history and modern life, Paternoster Square Column stands as a testament to London's rich past and its dynamic present. Once the site of the bustling Newgate Market, the square is now dominated by the striking Portland stone column. This towering structure, crowned by a golden-flame-tipped copper urn, comes alive at night, glowing with fiber optic illumination. Beyond its visual appeal, the column ingeniously doubles as a ventilation shaft for the service road below. Nearby, the evocative Paternoster sculpture by Dame Elisabeth Frink adds an artistic touch, capturing the essence of the shepherd leading his flock amidst the urban hustle. Rated highly by visitors, this corner of London offers a unique blend of history, art, and innovation.

13 juni 2025: vlak naast de Sint Paul's Cathedral staat de Paternoster Square Column. Ziet er mooi uit. Een leuk pleintje. Bij deze een paar foto's.

Historyczny plac był dawniej miejscem Newgate Market, czyli targu mięsnego obsługującego większą część Londynu. Najważniejszym elementem jest kolumna z kamienia portlandzkiego zwieńczona płonącą miedzianą urną pokrytą płatkami złota , która jest oświetlana w nocy światłowodami . Kolumna służy również jako szyb wentylacyjny drogi serwisowej biegnącej pod placem. Na placu jest również pomnik Paternoster (znany również jako Pasterz i Owce) autorstwa Dame Elisabeth Frink.
