I do love a good London dragon (look around people, they're everywhere!) and after the weather vane on
St Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside, the handsome specimen on a plinth in the middle of Fleet St is a favourite. It stands at
Temple Bar, the point where the City of London becomes the City of Westminster (hence the two postcodes) and also marks where Fleet St morphs into The Strand. Handily it is also really close to
Coffee by the Clock coffee cart so you can sip a primo flat white whilst gazing at this fine statue.
There are some good images here of the "City guardian" dragons: http://pub.cixonline.com/starhunter/ppp/city-dragon.html
