From Fleet St looking at Ludgate Hill in London almost deserted on 13 April 2020 during the lockdown for the Covid 19 pandemic and Easter holiday.
The 224 metre building to the left of St Paul's Cathedral dome is 122 Leadenhall Street, nicknamed 'the Cheese Grater'. It was designed (by Richard Rogers) in a wedge shape because City of London planners demanded that it should not interfere with views of St Paul's. In 2017 The Cheese Grater was sold to Chinese investors. The image was made on Easter Monday 2020, while most people were obeying the lockdown resulting from the Covid 19 pandemic and not leaving their homes. As a result, buses are the only traffic and joggers and cyclists can be seen taking their permitted exercise.
