Description
General view of Mansell Street and the City of London, viewed from Royal Mint Street looking north-west. The early twentieth-century white Portland Stone building at 10 Trinity Square, designed by Sir Edwin Cooper for GMW architects, is visible behind buildings on Mansell Street and Minories. It used to be the Port of London Authority Building and was Grade II listed in 1977, listing number 1079138. The award-winning St Helen’s or Aviva Tower on the corner of Leadenhall Street and St Mary Axe can be seen in the background, in process of construction, which was completed in 1969. It was designed by the Gollins Melvin Ward Partnership and built by Taylor Woodrow and was one of only four buildings in London built from the top down. It has been replaced by a taller tower designed by Sir Richard Rogers, 122 Leadenhall Street known locally as The Cheesegrater because of its shape. There are three cars, two trucks, a cyclist and a male pedestrian on Mansell Street.
