Paternoster Square



On one side of St Paul's Cathedral you have the gardens but on the other side you have a large open space called Paternoster Square. A pedestrianised area full of cafes, it is usually busy with tourists and office workers taking a few minutes out to sit and admire their surroundings.


This sculpture of the shepherd and his flock is by Elisabeth Frink (1930-1993). A very fitting sculpture for this Square.

    Ah … it took me a while to realize why this work was likely set in this location. Being close to St. Paul’s Cathedral, the shepherd and sheep would be very fitting images, indeed.

    That grass is so green! A lovely top capture with St Paul's in the back- ground.

    Bit of a coincidence I used to live along a Paternoster Lane and though I have heard of the square I did not know were it was. Great sculpture that.

    So many little corners and hidden spaces. Who knows, I could even get to like the place!

    I think I prefer street performers who do a little bit more than paint up and stand still!

    It's wonderful to see a rural statue piece in the city, I love the sheep.

    Love the statue and I don't ever remember seeing gardens there but I'm glad they are there to provide some green in the city for lunch breaks.

    What a neat place --on the other side of the cathedral. Looks like a great place to just sit and relax... Perfect sculpture for that area!
    Hugs,
