A street called Walbrook runs along the lower part of the brook's course. A valley is clearly visible; this can be seen most clearly at the junction of Walbrook and [[Cannon Street]].<ref>[http://www.gridreferencefinder.com Grid reference Finder measurement tools]</ref> On the street is the church of [[St Stephen Walbrook]], which originally stood on the west bank of the stream, but was rebuilt around 1439 on the east side. In 1666 the church was destroyed in the [[Great Fire of London]]; [[Christopher Wren]] built a new church there in 1672, which still stands, to replace it. The [[Bank of England]] and the [[Mansion House, London|Mansion House]], the official residence of the [[Lord Mayor of London|Lord Mayor]], are both situated in Walbrook ward, as is the historic [[London Stone]] (the latter situated on Cannon Street).
