🇬🇧 You never know what you’ll bump into when walking around London.
I came across this beautiful building at 60 Victoria Embankment in Blackfriars and discovered it was once the City of London School for Boys, built in the 1880s.
Look closely and you’ll see statues of Shakespeare, Milton, Newton and others. Today, the building is part of J.P. Morgan’s London offices, with a huge modern development behind the original Victorian structure.
And underneath - a vast underground vault complex associated with J.P. Morgan’s precious-metals operation.
Just another reminder that in London, history is literally everywhere you look 🏛️
