Gandhi, Tavistock Square London Panorama

By Panoramas 60-70

Tavistock Square contains a small shaded park in the Bloomsbury sector of London. The panorama is taken at the central feature of the park – a statue of Mahatma Gandhi. The statue has been in the park since 1968 and was designed by Fredda Brilliant.

The park also contains trees planted to commemorate the victims of the Hiroshima bombing and a Conscientious Objectors’ memorial.

It is a quiet place to sit and the panorama displays a distinct contrast to the scene in July 2005 when a bus was blown up on the square just a few metres from the park.

Euston Station, London Panorama

By Panoramas 60-70

Euston station is the first view of London for over 51 million people a year, it is neither grand like King Cross St Pancras or unique like Marylebone, indeed it is typical of 1960’s architecture.

The original Euston station opened in 1837 but was completely rebuilt in conjunction with the electrification of the West Coast Main Line between 1963 and 1968, thus its appearance in contrast to other London mainline station. Two Portland stone entrance lodges and the war memorial still survive from the old station but these are situated away from the main entrance on Euston Road.

Westminster Cathedral, London Panorama

By Panoramas 80-90

Westminster Cathedral is hidden away near between Victoria and Westminster in London. It is a building in direct contrast to Westminster Abbey with its Byzantine style architecture of the eastern Roman Empire, compared to Westminster Abbeys Gothic.

The Cathedral was built between 1895 and 1903 on the designs of architect John Bentley. The panorama is taken directly outside the Cathedral which is a through route for commuters arriving at London’s Victoria Station and walking to Westminster.
