UK - London - Childminding father in the City

A businessman childminds in the City of London. With minutes to spare in warm sunshine, the man shows paternal instincts and sits at the bottom steps and tilts the unseen child seated safely in the family pushchair, pulling faces and keeping it entertained beneath the tall columns of this architecture in the Square Mile, the oldest and financial heart of the capital. The classic neo-Romanesque architecture of the Royal Exchange building has Doric and Ionic columns with their ornate stonework, designed by Sir William Tite in 1842-1844 and opened in 1844 by Queen Victoria). It’s the third building of the kind erected on the same site. The first Exchange erected in 1564-70 by sir Thomas Gresham but was destroyed in the great fire of 1666. It’s successor, by Jarman, was also burned down in 1838. The present building is grade 1 listed and cost about £150,000.
