A barrier opens to let the bus back
into the city down a 'bus only' lane. As you reach the next road junction with
traffic lights, Pudding Lane is on the left, where the 1666 Great Fire of London
is thought to have started, and a few yards further is Fish Street Hill where
you should get a glimpse of the commemorative Monument. This column was designed
by Wren (of St Paul's fame) shortly after the fire and has a gilded flaming orb
at the top. It is possible to climb a narrow spiral staircase inside the column
to reach a small platform 200 feet up, although the view is a bit disappointing
with so many high buildings nearby.
