Walk Through The City: Door Archivolt

The Walk Through The City brings one through the old city of Londinium and into the current financial district of London. The buildings were built in different time periods but surprisingly have similar door frames. Quite a few of the doors along the walk have a circular archivolt which is about all they have in common. They all have vastly different ornamentation due to the design and function of the buildings along with the time period in which they were built. The archivolts within this part of the city helps to bring it to life and adds interest to an otherwise dull area within the financial district.

Three makes symmetry.

Baroque doorway.

Circular door with no circular archivolt, sorry.



Gothic ornamentation.
Basic doorway.

Church with a hole in the doorway.

Metal ornamentation.

A station at the metro...
