View of Threadneedle Street
Description
View from the southern end of Old Broad Street across Threadneedle Street, City of London. 4 Threadneedle Street and 1 Threadneedle Street can be seen ahead covered in scaffolding. 1 Threadneedle Street is the original head office building of Eagle Star Insurance Company and occupies a corner plot adjacent to Royal Exchange Avenue; a statue of the company’s eagle logo with wings outstretched sits atop the cupola on the top of the building. It was subsequently rebuilt by Eagle Star in brutalist style in 1968 and was again rebuilt in 1992. Since 2012 the entire building has been occupied by Nationwide. The curved edge of the Westminster Bank at 53 Threadneedle Street can be seen to the left of the image. In the distance is the rear (east façade) of the Royal Exchange with its clocktower on top. A statue of George Peabody between the front of 1 Threadneedle Street and the Royal Exchange can be seen covered with a protective wooden awning. This was Grade II listed in 1972; listing number 1194436. Blurred pedestrians and part of a car can also be seen.
