The Monument
About
Take in skyline views of the City from the top of the Monument.
Climb the 311 steps of this 202ft (62 metres) column, built to commemorate the Great Fire of 1666. Once you’ve reached the top of the spiral staircase, step out and enjoy far-reaching panoramic views.
The Monument opened in 1677 and was designed by architect Sir Christopher Wren in collaboration with Dr Robert Hooke, inventor of the microscope.
Before the climb, look up and admire the beautiful frieze which decorates the western face. Find the story of the destruction of London during the Great Fire on the left of the sculpture and its reconstruction on the right.
