'Gas lamps are an evocative part of our heritage, transporting you to the streetscape of another era. The more you look at them the more details you discover,' said Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England.
These newly listed lamps enrich the character of this historic part of Covent Garden, and form part of a wider collection across Westminster. The 1910 columns and their 1930s 'Upright Rochester' style lanterns help illustrate how streetlighting technology has evolved over time.
