NOTES: The Paternoster Square development was part of the post-war reconstruction of the City of London, particularly the area around St Paul's Cathedral (1675-1711 Wren), which had suffered extensive damage. The original masterplan, for a series of office blocks flanking the cathedral, was by Lord Holford and was completed in 1967.
