The Monument

The Monument was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and erected between 1671 and 1677, it commemorates the Great Fire of London, which devastated the original walled city in September 1666. It is a 62 m (205 ft) column with 311 steps that take you to a viewing platform at the top, that has all round views of the City of London. It is said to be 62 m west of where the fire started in Pudding Lane. A certificate of completion is awarded to those who make it to the top and back alive!
