Bank-Monument Useful Information
Bank London Underground station is actually one of two twinned stations collectively known as Bank-Monument station since they were conjoined in 1933.
Monument Station, opened in 1884, is named, of course, for the landmark Monument to the Great Fire of London designed in the late seventeenth century by Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke, which is both the world’s tallest isolated stone column, and also interesting for having been designed to function as a scientific laboratory and telescope in its original form. Quite apart from the historical interest, if you are in the area, it is well worth a short EC3 taxi ride to experience the superb view of London from its summit. And if you don’t have time to visit in person, a panoramic camera has been installed at the top of the Monument since 2009, updating its website every minute of the day with a full 360º view of the City of London. Of course, being there in person is far more exciting!
Bank station, opened six years later in 1890, is named for another landmark London institution, although one that’s perhaps a little less interesting to anyone not concerned with economics! If you are fascinated by lucrative trades, however, or indeed the historical and current significance of the Bank of England in world affairs, it may well be worth taking a taxi in EC3 to visit the impressive building and peruse the attached Bank of England Museum, which details the history of the bank from its foundation in 1694 right through to the present day.
If the history of the country’s central financial institution doesn’t tickle your fancy, there are plenty of other places to visit within a short journey by taxi from Bank-Monument station! For example, if you have an interest in theatre, a Bank taxi (or Monument taxi!) can take you to not just one, but two world-renowned venues: the Barbican Centre, and Shakespeare’s Globe!
Shakespeare’s Globe is of course the modern reconstruction of the famous playhouse which burned down in the early seventeenth century. Although with a reduced crowd capacity and some slight modifications in order to comply with modern health and safety guidelines, it is a largely faithful reconstruction of the 1614 version of the building, and as in Shakespeare’s day, plays at the Globe are held with no artificial amplification or lighting, and so are only held during the summer, when the natural light is bright enough to allow the actors to be seen! A visit to the Globe is certainly well worth the taxi-fare, especially for fans of The Bard’s work!
