Paternoster Square
Paternoster Square is the little
grid of streets immediately to the north of St Pauls Cathedral. Bombed
out in the second world war, it was rebuilt in the late 1950s to a
scheme by William Holford but the scheme quickly fell out of favour and
by the late seventies was largely empty and unloved. Twenty tears of
replanning, demolition and redevelopment came to fruition in 2003 when
the new scheme was opened to the public. The new scheme comprises nine
buildings set around the central square; three of the buildings are
orifinal while the other six are brand new. It's now a lovely little
precinct, popular both with those who work there and those who visit.
