Ooh a church tick!

I got a phone call last week......

A - Did D tell you about the S meeting next week.
Me - Uh ..... no!
A - Yeah he said it would be either you or R
Me - so that will be me then!

So off to Kensington I was......

Last night I remembered that there were a couple of churches nearby. The first had no opening times but the second was open Wednesday 1-5..... hang on I thought my meeting finishes at 1 and it is Wednesday!!! So I spent my lunch break on a quick look

806 Holy Trinity, Kensington

The current church is Victorian and was designed by the celebrated architect G F Bodley.















I do like the wide streets and buildings around this part of London



The Natural History Museum (free to visit so EXCELLENT value)



And some views around Fenchurch street.
