This gas mains replacement programme is crucial to providing safe and reliable energy to homes and businesses and will reduce the amount of unplanned work to repair ageing gas pipes, which we have already seen around the London Bridge junction.. To allow enough space to replace the pipes, which are located deep beneath the road, and for the safety of the workforce, it is necessary to close Cannon Street to all vehicles but not pedestrians. A signed diversion will be in place and Cadent will ensure there is access for emergency vehicles, residents and businesses. Cadent has promised to work with businesses to make sure that deliveries can continue with the minimum of impact. Alongside this article is a map showing the works, the diversions for traffic and the timeline. It is the bit of road outside Cannon Street station that will be substantially dug up for the period but this will not impede pedestrians using the station or moving up and down the road.

  • St. Margaret's in Eastcheap
    ST. MARGARET'S IN EASTCHEAP NINE HUNDRED YEARS OF HISTORY A Lecture delivered to St. Margaret's Historical Society on January 6th, 1967 by Dr. Gordon Huelin "God that suiteth in Trinity, send us peace and unity". St. Margaret's In Eastcheap : Nine hundred years of History. During the first year of his reign, 1067, William the Conqueror gave to the abbot and church of St. Peter's, Westminster, the newly-built wooden chapel of St. Margaret in Eastcheap. It was, no doubt, with this in mind that someone caused to be set up over the door of St. Margaret Pattens the words “Founded 1067”. Yet, even though it seems to me to be going too far to claim that a church of St. Margaret's has stood upon this actual site for the last nine centuries, we in this place are certainly justified in giving' thanks in 1967 for the fact that for nine hundred years the faith has been preached and worship offered to God in a church in Eastcheap dedicated to St. Margaret of Antioch. In the year immediately following the Norman Conquest much was happening as regards English church life. One wishes that more might be known of that wooden chapel in Eastcheap, However, over a century was to elapse before even a glimpse is given of the London churches-and this only in general terms. In 1174, William Fitzstephen in his description of London wrote that “It is happy in the profession of the Christian religion”. As regards divine worship Fitzstephen speaks of one hundred and thirty-six parochial churches in the City and suburbs.
