If you make your own Urban Line Rider scene let us know.. you can start by going to the Line Rider site.
Another in the new series of Google Earth Panoramic Spheres, this time featuring Temple Bar and St Pauls Cathedral, London. Temple Bar is the last remaining gate of the old City of London. Built by Christopher Wren in 1672, Temple Bar divided Fleet Street and the City of London from the Strand and Westminster. It is infamous as it used to display the decapitated heads of traitors.
It was dismantled from its original location in 1878 and re-erected ten years later in Herefordshire after being purchased by Lady Meux. In 2004 it was moved back to the City of London and now stands between Paternoster Square and St Pauls Cathedral.

The latest in a new series of Google Earth Panoramic Spheres features Covent Garden.
Covent Garden it characterised by its street entertainers, cafes, markets and small unique shops. Close to Leicester Square, it is one of the major tourist areas of London.
The name Covent Garden is derived from its history as a garden of the convent of the Abbey of St Paul. The St Paul’s garden supplied nearby Westminster Abbey with fresh produce.
Dominating the west side of Covent Garden is St Paul’s Parish Church, serving the Parish of Covent Garden. The Parish boundaries were changed in 1986 to incorporate the Parishes of Holy Trinity, Kingsway and St John, Drury Lane.
The Church was built as a result of the Earl of Bedford, in 1631 requiring the building of four streets to converege onto a square with a chapel and mansions. The design was carried out by Inigo Jones and the church was completed in 1633.
Nowadays the Church front plays host to street entertainers on the main square, over looked by the Punch and Judy pub it is the perfect location for a coffee or a pint in London.
