taken 10 years ago, near to City of London, The City of London, England
Site of St Peter's Church
St Peter's Church, Southwark (Anglican) stood on this site for a hundred years from 1839 to 1940 when it was destroyed by bombing. The only remaining artefact from the building is one of the bells which was taken to the Cathedral in 1952 where it is hung for chiming and known as the Peter bell.
The site is now occupied by a building which local sources say was once the National Grid control centre, but now used by various companies. As of 2014 a planning application was in progress for a 23-storey residential tower on the site.
