M87 (Virgo A, 3C274) has been observed at 5 GHz with the Cambridge One-Mile telescope, with a resolution of 6.5 arc sec. These observations do not include the extensive halo but show that the central region of the source consists of at least three components. The central of the components is unresolved and appears to coincide with the optical nucleus, the outer pair extending from a point about 5 arc sec south of the optical nucleus. These components are unresolved perpendicular to their extension axes. The north preceding component is related to the optical jet but is more extended.
