Here's St Pauls himself... though the south side as opposed to the west front. |
While on the walk, we stopped into another church designed by Christoper Wren called St. Brides Church on Fleet Street. I talked about this a bit in a previous post... the church was built upon old Roman foundations from the 11th century. The 11th century. One more time, the 11th century.
Down in the crypt, they even had a mini chapel to hold services down there. That was new one. Looked a little creepy to me!
On this walk, we saw Samuel Johnson's house which has been made into a museum. He wrote the first English descriptive dictionary. The receptionist was kinda chatty about him and said that he was known to have an opinion on everything.
