Postman's Park


As always in London we most enjoy wondering around without a map and finding places like this.
Postman's Park is a beautiful little churchyard at the back of St Botolph's Aldersgate church. We found there something very moving - Memorial to Heroic Self Sacrifice, a memorial to ordinary people who died saving the lives of others and might otherwise have been forgotten...
Incredible to find such a peaceful place right in the middle of London.
Don't know whether it was the scale of the surrounding buildings or the prominence of this place that made it that was? Both I guess...
