The Monument, London
The Monument is the tallest isolated stone column in the world and was built as a memorial to the Great Fire of London.
It was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke and was completed in 1677. The Monument is situated at the junction of Monument Street and Fish Street Hill which is 202ft from the site where the Great Fire started in 1666. The height of the colossal column is also 202ft.
Visitors to the Monument can climb the cantilevered stone staircase containing 311 steps to see some of the most breathtaking views of London. This may not be suitable for those with disabilities or a weak heart but there is a web cam at the bottom of the Monument showing live images from the top.
