St. Dunstan's Hill

I don't venture into the City of London very often. To be honest, there are a lot of areas in London that I don't know very well. I should probably make an effort to discover more of the city I live in, especially off the touristy places everyone knows.

The other day, I came across St. Dunstan's Hill, near Monument and Tower Hill tube stations. The church was originally built around 1100 and is a Grade I listed building. Severely damaged in the Great Fire in 1666 and again during the Blitz of 1941, the City of London decided in 1967 to turn the remains into a public garden. The ruins are very pretty and while so central, it offers a calming respite from the bustle of the city.
