All Hallows: The Undercroft
All Hallows by the Tower
Cheers,
My emails seem to be fewer and further between since we returned to London. Just too much to research about everything we see. During the walking tours we hear lots of stories, but there’s no chance to write them down…

The tangents of Toynbee Hall
Cheers,
Today Sue Ed and I walked to the Artizan Public Library to get library cards. My Canary Wharf card is good for Tower Hamlets libraries but not for city libraries or something like that. Artizan is much closer so w…
