Living in the Twenty First century as we do, there's a fading memory of just how much damage the German air force did to the centre of London during WWII. Take a look at this picture, it looks like at least one in three buildings are rubble, many destroyed down to the cellar level! Just look how prominent the Monument is, it's like a tall beacon in a flat landscape; these days you struggle to see it at all as it's hemmed in on all sides by buildings far taller.
