Cannon Street Station towers
Cannon Street station is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in the City of London.
The station was built on a site of the medieval steelyard, the trading base in England of the Hanseatic League.
It was built by the South Eastern Railway in order to have a railway terminal in the City and compete with the rival London, Chatham and Dover Railway.
This required a new bridge across the River Thames, which was constructed between 1863 and 1866.

Tooting lamppost
This lamppost is Grade II listed, and therefore protected for its historical significance. The structure, which is located in Tooting Broadway just outside the tube station, originally had 3 purposes.
The first was to illuminate, there are five gas lamps that have recently been restored and are still working.
The second purpose was to give directions, with the 4 signs showing the way to Croydon, Wimbledon, Wandsworth and London.
The third purpose is perhaps the least obvious at first glance, but four ventilation panels at the base once supplied fresh air to the toilets below, which no longer exist.
