Isn't it now the "Dental Centre" just beside the church?

If the old map is accurate, and the station building was next to the
original alignment of Newgate Street, then the station would surely be
under the traffic island, or the road between the island and the church.

Annoyingly, I'm not going to be visiting that BT office for a few weeks,
but I'll keep my eyes open when I do.

In the meanwhile, let me point at

That's the old Post Office, not the station though.

The site of the old station is not hard to spot - there's a massive
fan-tower in the middle of the road system which sits atop the old lift
shafts.

It's the old station building that we've been concentrating on. Is that
still in existence, and if so, what does it look like now?

Are you talking about Snow Hill Tunnel!! There was a St Pauls stop in it
before they built City Thameslink!!

The discussion has been about St Pauls station on LUL Central Line, which
used to have a different surface building and the name Post Office. The
original station on the Snow Hill tunnel was originally named Snow Hill, and
was later renamed Holborn Viaduct Low Level.
The LCDR St Pauls station was renamed Blackfriars many years ago.

I'm going by aerial photos that show a much enlarged road junction, with
a large triangular traffic island to the west. (View from north).

OK, I've been there now and taken the following (not very well merged,
and surprisingly difficult arrange to have no busses in) photo:

As others have commented, it seems fairly obvious that the station used
to be under the ventilation shafts on the traffic island, rather than
inside the (brown) dentists office.

Yes (although other things occupy it as well).
