Not every statue in London. The ones worth crossing the road for: Roman wall, medieval ruins, and the monuments that earn a detour.
A fourteenth-century crypt behind glass at the bottom of an alley off Fleet Street.

The Carmelites, the white friars, had a priory here from 1253 until Henry VIII dissolved it, and this vaulted undercroft was beneath the prior's lodging. It was found in 1895 being used as a coal cellar, and when the site was redeveloped in the 1980s the whole crypt was lifted onto rollers, moved aside, and put back in a glass-walled chamber under the new building. You look at it through a window at the foot of a stair off Magpie Alley, whose tiled walls tell the story of Fleet Street's printing trade.
