I've never heard of Centrepoint ... until now.

This quiz is definitely biased ... it discriminates against thick people, like me. ¢¢##

Centre Point is one of London's most famous, if not most-loved, buildings, Centre Point stands in the centre of the West End, looking over the busy Oxford Street and Charing Cross Rd junction where I spent many an hour on point duty sorting out the traffic chaos.

Built on land originally designated for a traffic roundabout, a long drawn out process led to planning permission being granted in August, 1959.

Where is this street and what happened here?

The Great Fire of London started in the King's Bakery in Pudding Lane in 1666. Pudding Lane I believe is near London Bridge.

I remember taking a slight detour on one visit to London to see the memorial placed at the spot where the Great Fire started:

Happy days. I used to work in the old Billingsgate Market building, just down the road from this monument.  I have to admit to having spent many nights, after a few beers,  sat on those steps trying to figure out what my hotel was called so I could hail a taxi!
