The effort of going up a flight of stairs only to come down another also proved less attractive to many than the prospect of gingerly picking their way along the kerb of a dual carriageway. The growing conservation movement put up a strong fight, too. Looking at the 1963 map, it is not hard to see why, given that sections of pedways appear to slice right through St Paul’s Cathedral.

"pedways appear to slice right through St Paul's Cathedral" THIS. We need to research St. Paul's Cathedral. Pedways going through is a possible perfect storm for abuse within the Church.

When you look at the two maps, @Carmencita, you will see that the 'pedways appear to slice right through St. Paul's Cathedral' were never realized like this (the emphasis was 'appear' anyway, nobody would have dared to actually build a pedway through the Cathedral. ;-)). See the newer map below, that shows the pedways that were actually built.

There are pedways near the Cathedral, but somehow I think this might be a dead end for research, not leading into a rabbit hole. (And yes, that's the right Cathedral; there is only one St. Paul's Cathedral in London ;-)).

Although the traffic in London is a nightmare, I would assume that child trafficking is done by using vans and cars.

OK. Thanks. That place is guilty also of refusing to let a man read the Bible inside. Another infiltration taking place. First woman head of the cathedral as well.
