It was built in 1967 as a 35-storey, 122 metres (400 ft) tall headquarters for British Petroleum (now BP) and was originally named Britannic House. The designers at that time were F. Milton Cashmore and H.N.W. Grosvenor.[1]
Directly above those lines are the Northern City Line platforms 9 & 10, now served by First Capital Connect. Direction signs to these platforms bear the words "trains to Stevenage" (and not Northern City Line). The Northern City Line platforms were opened by the Great Northern & City Railway (GN&CR) in February 1904 providing a service to Finsbury Park. The original hope of the GN&CR was that main line trains would run from the Great Northern Railway's platforms at Finsbury Park directly into the city and the tunnels were constructed at a diameter capable of accommodating main line trains. Disputes and rivalry between the two companies meant that this did not happen and it was not until the 1970s, after the line had changed from the ownership of London Underground to British Rail, that a through service began to operate replacing the Eastern Region services that had previously run via the Widened Lines. However, trains do not serve the Northern City Line during late evenings and at weekends, being diverted to London Kings Cross instead.
St Mary Moorfields is a Roman Catholic church in the City of London. The present building, located at 4-5 Eldon Street, was opened in 1903. However, the foundation had a long history prior to this. A chapel was opened in 1686, but was suspended in 1689, in the aftermath of the Revolution of 1688.
In 1348, Walter de Manny rented 13-acre (0.05 km2) of land in Spital Croft, north of Long Lane, from the Master and Brethren of St. Bartholomew's Hospital for a graveyard and plague pit for victims of the Black Death. A chapel and hermitage were constructed, renamed New Church Haw; but in 1371, this land was granted for the foundation of the London Charterhouse, a Carthusian monastery.[2]
