Nicholas Hawksmoor's St George-in-the-East, built 1714-29
Nicholas Hawksmoor, arguably the most inventive architect of the English baroque, left his mark both on London’s physical fabric and the imagination of Londoners. His six great churches stretch east from St George’s Bloomsbury through to St Mary Woolnoth in the City, Christchurch Spitalfields and on to Wapping, Limehouse and Greenwich. Colin Amery, former Director of the World Monuments Fund, discusses Hawksmoor’s legacy on London.
