Lot Essay

Westminster Bridge was completed and opened in 1750. The stone alcoves on the Bridge, each with lamps on top, were used by pedestrians for shelter from the rain. The Pantheon, on Oxford Street, which opened in 1772, was designed by James Wyatt and intended to be used as Winter Assembly Rooms.
