The Monument, built to mark the Great Fire of London, reopens at noon today after a lengthy refurbishment programme. The 18 month project on one of the City’s most recognisable landmarks has cost £4.5million and has seen the stonework cleaned and repaired, reguilding of the golden orb and also the installation of a live camera to relay views to the bottom for people who can’t make it up the 311 stairs.
The refurbishment has been paid for by the City of London Corporation.
