Royal Courts of Justice / spire

View to the Neo-Gothic spire of the Royal Courts of Justice, designed by G.E.Street and completed 1882, one year after the architect's death — his demise at the age of 57 "being widely attributed to the many vexations associated with the project" [source: The London Encyclopaedia]. Taken from the south bank of the Thames in the London Borough of Southwark.
