a motto for the btob thread ?
been exploring lots of little streets in the oldest parts of london in recent weeks. around st pauls down to monument and on to the tower of london , up and down each parallel street, down each narrow alley. around fleet street and the royal courts of justice yesterday and the city around cornhill and london wall etc a few days back. some fascinating stuff in there, i've never really explored even though i worked in some of these areas for many years, usually just cycling past them on the way to somewhere else or head down and heading to the tube after a long day
maybe the highlight was st dunstans church, never seen that before, a cool old abandoned church so tranquil and peaceful, surrounded and hemmed in by modern buildings on all sides. felt both spacious and grand while being claustrophobic at the same time
and there are so many churches and small floral garden dotted around these areas for quiet contemplation or to nosh your big mac on lunch break . wish i had taken advantage of them at the time.
needless to say i have a few ideas for my next tag just need a nice easy one in e15 to get the ball rolling !
