"This is a wonderful place to escape the bustle of the city streets and wander through the magnificent church and surrounding buildings and gardens. it really is a charming place, filled with history and stories. Read the plaques and headstones as you wander around and wonder about those who've gone before. Enjoy the lush gardens and the beautiful architecture. There was a choir rehearsing when I went there and it was a surreal experience to listen and enjoy the voices, knowing busy London was whizzing by outside. Well worth a visit. "  Shelly J.
