Redeveloped historic market square & publishing centre
#PaternosterSquare is so named because it was here, in medieval times, the #Paternoster or Lord’s Prayer was recited by #StPaulsCathedral clergy as they processed the precincts. #AveMariaLane & #AmenCorner are similarly named. Originally at the centre of London’s publishing industry the square became the site of #NewgateMeatMarket until the market moved to #Smithfield in 1889.

#PaternosterSquare was destroyed during the #Blitz in #WW2 & rebuilt as a pedestrian precinct with offices & shops. Redeveloped in the early 1990s it is now the location of the #LondonStockExchange & offices of investment banks such as #GoldmanSachs & #Nomura. In 2004 #ChristopherWren’s renovated #TempleBar was erected as a grand entrance to the square from #LudgateHill.
