Cannon Street is a road which runs parallel to the north bank of the River Thames in central London.
The road, which is the historic site of the London Stone, starts at St Paul’s Cathedral in the west and ends in the east, joining Gracechurch Street and King William Street.
The area is served by Cannon Street station, in zone 1, which is on the District and Circle lines. Also a railway station, it has been the venue for two tragedies.
In January 1991 it a train crashed on arrival at the station, hitting the buffers and leaving 2 dead and 248 injured.
Additionally, in March 1976 an IRA bomb exploded on an empty commuter train leaving Cannon Street, injuring eight people on another train travelling in the opposite direction.
The area around the station has recently been developed, providing Cannon Street with 190,000 square feet of office space across 6 floors.
Shakespeare’s Globe, a reconstruction of an Elizabethan theatre on the banks of the River Thames, is within walking distance of the development and would be a place to entertain clients.
