London Trip: St. Dunstan in the East


I'm for the first time in England and will be spending a total of 6 days in London. The internet being as it is, suggested all kinds of London tips as soon as l started planning. Lots of budget-friendly or even free places were suggested in the dozens. 

I made a list of all the ones l liked online, and am slowly visiting them. St. Dunstan in the East was one of them, l found it absolutely magical. 



A green, quiet place in the middle of the city. Also much less crowded than other places near by, the church is located between London Bridge and the Tower of London. 



The church was largely destroyed in the Second World War and the ruins are now a public garden.


Originally built in about 1100, it was severely damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666, it was then patched back up.


In 1941 it was severely damaged again, but was decided not to be rebuild and was opened as a public garden in 1971.












This place definitely gets a 10/10 from me.
