(London EC2) The civic building of the *City of London. Dating from the 15C (the main structure was completed in 1439), it was considerably damaged in the *Great Fire of 1666 and again in an air raid in 1940, but it retains its medieval shape and much of its fabric. The statues of *Gog and Magog in the west gallery are limewood carvings, by David Evans, replacing those destroyed in 1940.
