This, the headquarters of National Westminster Bank, which is 180 metres high and has 52 floors was inaugurated in 1980. It was devastated by a terrorist bombing in 1993 and has been largely restored.

The square has preserved its original appearance with its central garden, its lines of houses, built following the plans of Basevi and in the corners, the individual houses. On the East side is Seaford House where Lord John Russell lived. The Queen's uncle, the Duke of Kent (died in 1942) lived at number 3. Although it appears to be completely unified. Notice the colonnades and porticoes on each side that have a different design as well as the corner pavilions.

This street ran the length of the river wall. It dates from the early Middle Ages, perhaps even from Roman times. By the 17C, it served as a route between the Wardrobe and the Tower, crossing the furriers' and vintners' quarters. It was lined by eight churches. Today it is divided into two: Upper and Lower Thames Street.

This Church which rests on the interior side of the old London wall (1765) is by George Dance Junior. It has an elegant cream interior, lit by sunlight from the high windows and containing a retable by Nathaniel Dance, the brother of George. The pulpit communicates with the sacristy via a stairway, which cuts into the medieval wall. The church is endowed with a documentation centre and a Christian Aid Section dedicated to world problems, justice and development.
