FAMOUS LONDON ARCHITECT

Before the Great Fire there were 108 churches in the City, but only 20 survived the flames. It was decided to rebuild 51, and this monumental task was given to Sir Christopher Wren (1632 - 1723).

Wren’s masterpiece was St Paul’s Cathedral, but each church was designed with the same care so that no two were alike.

During the Second World War nearly all Wren’s churches were destroyed or damaged. Most were reconstructed, and of the 39 churches in the City, 23 are by Wren.

Inigo Jones (1573-1652) transformed English architecture and introduced a Classical style whose influence was to last for nearly 300 years. In 1617 he was began to build the Queen’s House at Greenwich, and in 1619 was invited by James I to build the Banqueting House for Whitehall Palace.

Jones was also responsible for Covent Garden, which originally took its name from the convent that stood on the site in the Middle Ages. Here Jones based his design on the style of an Italian piazza and created London's first real square. The Garden flourished in the 17th century as the residential area of the rich. It was King Charles' II favourite haunt, a place of entertainment of all sorts.

In the 18th and 19th centuries Covent Garden became known for its fruit and vegetable markets.

In 1974 the market was moved to a new site in Nine Elms, and Covent Garden has become a tourist attraction with continental-style restaurants, bars and clubs.

Another of London's great builders is John Nash (1752—1835). He enlarged Buckingham Palace and gave it a grand archway, called the Marble Arch, which was moved in 1851 to Hyde Park, where it still stands.

Today Buckingham Palace is the official residence of the Royal Family. The Flying of the Royal Standard on the palace proclaims that the Queen is in Residence. The Changing of the Guard is a very popular tourist attraction.
