Dist:0.2km north<br/>This monument at the north-east corner of St Paul's churchyard is probably the grandest of those left standing when the churchyard became a public space in 1913 (see [922131]] ). The inscription has faded so much that it is no longer possible to make out the name of the person(s) commemorated.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>The (disused) drinking fountain in the grounds of St Paul's church was one of many installed in public places around London in the early years of the 20th century. The inscription around the edge reads: "Erected by the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association of 83 Lancester Gate. The Association laid out this ground as a public garden 1913 and placed this fountain there 1914. In memory of Hugh Taylor 1817-1900 from his daughter."

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Church of St. Paul, Deptford. built 1712-1730, the work of Thomas Archer. Pevsner describes it as "large, sombre and virile". Certainly a very fine building which looks best when the sun illuminates the white Portland stone. Picture taken in 1959 and scanned from old Agfacolor slide.
