  St Anne's, Limehouse is unusual in flying the White Ensign. The ball above it acted as a naval time signal, falling along with a similar one at Greenwich at 12.00 GMT. The statue is of Clement Atlee, Labour prime minister of the government that brought in the British welfare state, in front of a recently closed library. He was the local Mayor, then MP from 1922-55. |

 St Anne's, Limehouse is a key site for lovers of the architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, and also for various political, artistic and literary movements, including the London Psychogeographical Association, a largely fictional enterprise. The 4th confernce of the Situatiionist International was held across the road in 1960, and in 2003 the Cartographic Conference was based on Limehouse Town Hall next door. The pyramid at left and below left explains much of this. |
