The Old City
Over the Weekend, I did a tour of parts of the old parts of the City-I thought I had seen every bit in the City but I haven't obviously!
Saddlers' Hall-built in the 17th century. Originally the site belonged to Thomas Cromwell who had his London home here. Once he got beheaded, the Saddlers Livery Company got it.
The Dutch Reformed Church-the church is from the 1950s-the original was destroyed in the Blitz. The original church was from the reign of Edward VI
St Helen's Church-originally part of a convent in the 1300s whose Prioress was allegedly the inspiration for Chaucer's Prioress
The Church of St Ethelberga-it survived the Fire of London, the Blitz, only to be destroyed by an IRA bomb. It's only recently been restored as a peace centre.
A Moorish tent set up in the courtyard of the church
Originally a Victorian Turkish bath-now a bar
Statue outside Liverpool Street Station of the Children of the Kinderstransport who passed through the station.
Tower Bridge at night
