Cannon Street Useful Information
The image conjured up by the name Cannon Street might very well be of heavy artillery emplacements along the River Thames, but the name in fact derives from much less military sources: the area was well-known in the middle ages as a hub of the candle-making trade, giving it the Middle English name Candelwrichstrete (simply “Candle Maker Street”), which had mutated to “Cannon Street” by the eighteenth century.
A Cannon Street taxi could take you to many attractions and points of interest in the area. Perhaps the most famous historical relic on Cannon Street itself is the London Stone, a marker stone placed by the city’s Roman occupiers from which to measure distances across the rest of the colony. This is now on display in a barred recess to the side of the road. There are plenty of other places an EC4 taxi from Cannon Street could take you, too! One end of Cannon Street itself terminates by Saint Paul’s Cathedral, Christopher Wren’s landmark Christian temple, which was for many years the tallest building in the whole city of London. At the other end, you will find another of the architect’s most famous structures; the Monument to the Great Fire of London, which was built in the seventeenth century to double as a commemorative piece, and also a scientific instrument and telescope, partly due to input from its other designer, renowned scientist Robert Hooke.
If you want to journey further afield, taking full advantage of the distance you can easily travel by taxi in EC4, you could pay a visit to some of the local museums and exhibitions, which include the Bank of England Museum, which details the history of that financial institution since its founding in the late seventeenth century, and the Rose Theatre, one of the area’s earliest playhouses, whose remnants have now been excavated and opened for public viewing.
There is also the Horniman Museum, which boasts an unusual collection focused on the not-often-associated subjects of natural history and the history of musical instruments, as well as a large aquarium featuring a moon jellyfish enclosure fed by artificial ocean tidal forces, and a garden featuring both a nature trail and a historic bandstand in its original condition from 1912.
All in all, the vicinity of Cannon Street is a well-placed area for visiting much of central London, whether by foot, or of course by taxi courtesy of Tick Tock Taxi’s easy instant online booking service!
