A Beautiful Cafe in London ....
By Annie
A few months ago, I read about a Café in a Church, and thought how great it would be to visit. So when the opportunity arose to visit Londonto see my great friend Jennifer, I asked her if she fancied going to see it. Of course she did !!
I emailed the people, found out where it was, went to visit and that is where our day started. HOST CAFE Host is a coffee shop inside St Mary Aldermary, a beautiful, historic church in Watling Street. This is not your typical church café, however. As well as providing a quiet, reflective space within the busy city, Host provides suprisingly high quality coffee and food. The Guild Church of St Mary Aldermary is an Anglican church located in Watling Street at the junction with Bow Lane, in the City of London. Of medieval origin, it was rebuilt from 1510. Badly damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666, it was rebuilt once more, this time by Sir Christopher Wren, unlike the vast majority of his City churches in a Gothic style.

An amazing place and people are lovely. There also is a small market of food stalls outside the church on weekdays This is part one of our walk , as we picked up a map Friends of the Church and went walking. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
