The Church of St Dunstan was originally built around 1100 and is a Grade I listed building. A new south aisle was added in 1391 and was repaired in 1631. It was severely damaged in 1666 by the Great Fire of London. Rather than being completely built it was patched up. A steeple and tower was added in 1695-1701 by Sir Christopher Wren.
The Church was again severely damaged in the Blitz of 1941. Wren's tower and steeple survived the bombing. During the re-organisation of the Anglican Church after World war II it was decided not to rebuild St Dunstan’s.
In 1967 the City of London decided to turn the remains into a public garden, which opened in 1970.

London's most touristic square got its name from the fancy ruffled shirts - Picadils -made in the neighbourhood long ago. in the late 20th century the square veered toward the gimmicky and tack look - look no further than the gargantuan Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum. But it's trending back.
Until a couple of years ago, this was a famously busy traffic circle, with cars and big red buses spinning around the tipsy- but- perfectly balanced Eros statue in the centre. Now-though still packed with cars- it's also a packed people zone.

Today Whitehall is chocked with traffic, but imagine the effect the broad street must have had to out-of-towners a century ago. In your horse-drawn carriage, you'd clop along the tree-lined boulevard past well dressed lords and ladies, dodging street urchins.

The black ornamental arrowheads topping the iron fences were once colourfully painted. In 1861 Queen Victoria ordered them all painted black when he beloved Prince Albert (The only one who called her Vickie) died.

At least at the upper end of the street retains a whiff of funkiness.

You're in the heart of London's shopping neighbourhood. This intersection also marks a sort of class divide among London shoppers. (A couple of blocks to the north is the mid-range shopping area Oxford St, which is lined with less-distinguished chains and department stores and seems scruffier than Regent Street)
Regent Street with London's high-class, top-dollar shopping outlets. This street has wide sidewalks, fine architecture and royal-family connections. Most of the shops call the Queen their landlord, as she owns most of the land here.

Looking like a building out of Elizabethan times, the Liberty of London department store carries all manner of luxury goods. In 1874, after spending more than a decade working for Messrs Farmer and Rogers, Arthur Lasenby Liberty decided to open his own store in London. The store bearing his named opened the next year, dealing with fabrics, ornaments, and Japanese art objects. Eventually, the store grew in its offerings until it was one of the most prominent stores in the city
