ST PAUL’S CHURCH
Nestled among the glitz and glamour of London’s theatre and shopping heartland, the West End, this small, historic place of worship is known as “The Actors’ Church” because of its long association with the theatre community. But it’s the small surrounding garden that’s become its real drawcard. A favourite hang-out for the area’s thespian crowd, as well as nearby office workers looking for a place to relax during their lunch break, it’s a welcome slice of calm in an otherwise bustling part of town. TIP Time your visit in spring (March-may) and you’ll also be treated to the most spectacular cherry blossom and tulip display. NEARESTNEAR TUBE STATION Covent Garden.
