Not every statue in London. The ones worth crossing the road for: Roman wall, medieval ruins, and the monuments that earn a detour.
A Wren church's footprint kept as a rose garden, with the pews marked out in box hedge.
RuinsFree
The Franciscans' church stood here from 1225, one of the largest in medieval London and the burial place of queens. Wren rebuilt it after the Great Fire and a firebomb in December 1940 gutted Wren's church in a night. The tower survived and is a house now; the nave was laid out in 1989 as a garden that keeps the plan of the building, with box hedges where the pews were, climbing roses on wooden towers where the pillars stood, and the outer walls still framing it. It sits at the foot of the road to St Paul's and most people walk past without noticing what it is.
