2025 Jan #15: St Bride & St Paul

Today’s activity: St Paul’s Cathedral. On the way there, stopped into St Bride’s Church on Fleet St. Much smaller but every bit as interesting historically; spans 1500 years. Must see:

St Paul’s is astonishing on the inside. These’re of the main floor; there’s a crypt below with lots of tombs of people e.g. Isaac Newton, which I failed to photograph:

Walk: 6.2 miles.
