St Paul's Cathedral
I stood on the roof of this building once and understood for the first time how Wren organised the entire City around his sightlines. The view teaches you more than any map.
Wren's masterpiece rose from the 1666 Fire's ashes. The Blitz photograph of its dome above the smoke is the defining image of London's defiance.
