I found that places by accident while wandering around London one day. It was a great find.

I just love that there’s a palm tree just hanging out

[kirbycooper]

Beautiful! I wish i saw more of this kind of stuff during my visit

[leeduncan]

There are loads of little secrets like this in London. Brilliant city.

Man London is so full of history. To think it’s been around since even before the Roman Empire. London is somewhere I’ve always wanted to go. I’d love to go to Europe mostly around the Mediterranean but I feel like you could just feel the history in the air with cities like London.

Lots of places have bombed out churches never rebuilt. Coventry and Liverpool. Plenty in the countryside just abandoned or half demolished during Henry VIII ths reformation.
One of my favourites is Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire. Lots of castles all over too.
We dont appreciate them as we should.
I hope this channel does a piece on the Tottenham Outrage of 1909. I found out about it by accident reading about the assasination of Ross Mcwhirter in 1975. Then the Balcombe St seige then the seige of Sidney St featuring Winston Churchill which I had heard of.
I am amazed no one has made a movie based on these almost unbelievable events.
🤠👍❤️

Beautiful ruins! But 1100 wasn’t the Anglo-saxon era anymore, it was the norman era (which started in 1066)

What a beautiful little garden apace, and so grateful it wasnt knocked down. ❤

Why would Christopher Wren be “notorious“?

[markopolo]

There's something mystical about it being engulfed by nature like that

[kathybost]

my favorite time of history. we here in the USA are just babies. love UK- will never get over there but you are SO lucky

[niels.brouwer]

The year 1100 clearly wasn't in the Anglo-Saxon era, that would make it Norman.

[Pitcairn]

Why 'notorious' Architect?? Did he build stuff without planning permission?? did he run a London architects Crime ring? WTH.

[WhoDoctor-ue]

Nice. Lovely way to use the old church.

[Natalietea]

I would really love to visit London again I love it there it feels like home to me

[DarkMatterX]

Dude, what? Anglo-saxon era? The year 1100 AD is 34 years post conquest. It is decidedly the Anglo-Norman period.

I lived in London for 10 years and😮 never knew if it and never visited!
