London, Cheapside And Mansion House 1915

More about this scene
The foundation stone of the Mansion House was laid in 1739. The facade is so hemmed in by the street and the buildings opposite that it could never achieve the visual impact its architects would have wished for. The buses chugging along below are still open-topped. It would be another ten years before roofs were added to the London General Omnibus Company's fleets.
