Español: Iglesia de la Piedra de Londres de San Swithin. Foto tomada en 1962, justo antes de que fueran finalmente retirados los restos aún existentes de la iglesia dañada por bombas en 1940. La "Piedra de Londres" entonces se ubicaba en un compartimento a nivel del pavimento, e inmediatamente por debajo de la placa de demolición "Griffiths".

Para apreciar la caseta o el compartimento posterior, consultar foto 493195. También puede consultarse el wikiartículo en inglés sobre la iglesia, en la dirección electrónica http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Swithin,_London_Stone .

La inscripción que marcaba la ubicación de la piedra, señalaba lo siguiente: "Piedra de Londres" - Se cree que perteneció a una obra romana ; luego fue empotrada en la pared de esta iglesia, para una protección y conservación más segura, y así poder transmitir este vestigio a las futuras generaciones ; en el año del Señor de 1869 (seguían nombres de autoridades).
