There has been a cathedral on the site of St Paul's since 600AD. The current Christopher Wren design is a beautiful church built in the 1690s following the Great Fire of London. He was a very busy man after the fire and received a knighthood for his efforts. He is buried in the crypt below the cathedral floor and is marked by a single block of sandstone and a plaque that, in part, tells the reader that if they wish to see a grand monument to him to take a look around them. A very interesting place which holds a lot of the history of England.
St Paul's Cathedral, just outside our front door!
The rest of our day was spent travelling to Heathrow Airport to collect our set of wheels and then hurtling down the M4 towards Oxford - yes Collette was driving!! After a couple of laps, including a street we shouldn't have gone down, we arrived safely at 'The Bear and Ragged Staff' pub for the night.
Our wheels for the next few days!
