Wooden Tower

This appeared last year before the Olympics. I've only just noticed the sign on the floor that says what it is.

This structure marks the location of the historic
Aldgate - where Chaucer lived from 1374-1386 -
and the start of High Street 2012, the route to the
Olympics at Stratford. The design of a 'Palace on
Pillars' by Studio Weave is inspired by the two
dream poems written by Chaucer while resident
in the rooms above the gate: 'The House of Fame'
and 'The Parliament of Fowls'.
