Clapham South Deep Shelter

A shelter was built underneath Clapham South tube station during the Second World War to protect civilians from aerial bombardment. What was life like deep underground and what happened to the deep level tunnel after the war?

It is open to the public as part of London Transport Museum’s ‘Hidden London’ program.

St Botolph without Aldersgate

One of three remaining churches dedicated to St Botolph in the City of London, this one may seem plain on the outside but it is full of Georgian surprises inside! Tune in to hear the Scottish style acapella singing by the Presbyterians who use the church every Sunday.

St Andrew by the Wardrobe

Q: What do a Scottish saint, Shakespeare, the Indian Orthodox Church and a King's wardrobe all have in common? A: St Andrew by the Wardrobe... another Christopher Wren church. Approached from the north it's hard to find through alleyways but from the south it looks like a castle on a hill.

Churches

St Edmund King and Martyr

Don't overlook this small City of London church with some unusual features, old and new. It's also the home of a rare ecumenical community.

Churches

St Benet Paul’s Wharf

This small cosy church is full of quirky features and unusual associations. Tune in to hear about Shakespeare, graffiti, celebrity weddings, heralds and women playwrights. On top of that, a warm welcome and rousing music awaits you in this Welsh Church from its congregants and its vicar, whether you speak the language or not.

Churches

St Michael Paternoster Royal

The movement and colours of the magnificent modern windows of this Christopher Wren church are a sight for sore eyes as the scenes they depict slowly emerge the more you look at them. Look closely at another window and you'll see the story of local man Dick Whittington. He was real!
