Summary[edit]

This monument, was designed by architect Horace Jones, and replaces the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/locosteve/38919288360/">Temple Bar Gate</a> , which was demolished in 1878 ( and now stand at Paternoster Square ). It consists of an elaborate pedestal in a Neo-Renaissance style with a sculpture of a dragon (commonly referred to as Griffin) on the top, with the coat of arms of the City of London & the motto 'Domine dirige nos'. The dragon was sculpted by Birch. Below the dragon is the text referring to the gate: Temple bar - formerly - stood here - mdccclxxx.

I think it is one of my favorite statue/monuments around London,It was raining when i took this image so it is a bit dark,and i adjusted the background to better define the main object of the photo..
