	Temple Bar, London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Temple Bar is the barrier (real or imaginary) marking the westernmost extent of the City of London on the road to Westminster, where Fleet Street (extending westwards) becomes the Strand.
		In the Middle Ages, the authority of the Corporation of London reached beyond the city's ancient walls in several places (the liberties of London); to regulate trade into the city, barriers were erected on the major roads wherever the true boundary was a substantial distance from the old gatehouse.
		Today Temple Bar (like other major entrances to the City of London) is marked by a stone monument in the middle of the roadway, topped by a statue of a dragon, (commonly described as a "griffin").

		In this respect, the re-emergence of Temple Bar is a fitting monument to a city doomed to misremember its past as it freely creates a bogus historical narrative from the materials available.
		The reincarnation of Temple Bar is thus a mixed blessing; it survives, but only by casting off its proud past and submitting to the law of the jumble.
