This is my local church! Not as obvious as some of the more famous London Cathedrals, but still free to visit! Regular services if you're interested, but they are very welcoming to visitors who just want to have a look round. Has some interesting historical connections with William Shakespeare and John Harvard.

Shopping
A small, manageable shopping mall which is a nice walk from our place. Lovely and quiet at the weekends compared to the more obvious shopping destinations in London, as it's mainly frequented by city workers in the week. Has a nice mix of High Street chains and higher end shops, plus some good restaurants.
