Is there a pineapple on top of St Paul's cathedral? Two golden pineapples on top of the two western towers of St. Paul's Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren.
What does the pineapple symbolize in London?
In the 17th Century it was customary to have a Pineapple as the centrepiece of meal (but as a reusable decoration, not to eat – too expensive!) So pineapples have become symbols of wealth, exoticism and hospitality, even today hotels always include a pineapple in a welcome fruit basket.
