Architect Christopher Wren proposed |
| [00:03.36] |
a London to rival the glories of ancient Rome triumphal avenues and great piazzas. |
| [00:10.63] |
At its heart - the new Cathedral of St Paul's. Wren would create the first dome to be seen in London . |
| [00:23.79] |
It would be a new age of classicismof harmony and proportion |
| [00:30.02] |
banishing forever the chaos of the old Gothic city. |
| [00:37.77] |
St Paul's would be the symbol of a London reborn, a great phoenix risen from the flames. |
| [01:30.48] |
Had Wren's plans for the whole city been realised, the look of London would be very different. |
| [01:47.64] |
Wren's London would have been a noble city. |
| [01:51.17] |
But it was not to be. |
| [01:55.80] |
The forces of conservatism were too strong. |
| [01:59.48] |
And so the streets of the city remain narrow and winding. |
| [02:04.64] |
And this is the result. |
