The medieval style church of St. Dunstan in the East
was built in around 1100
and has had a long 900-year-old history.
In 1666, it was rebuilt after being damaged
in the Great Fire of London.
Then, during World War II,
a direct hit during the London Blitz
destroyed a majority of the structure,
leaving behind only the north and south walls and steeple.
Instead of rebuilding once again,
the city of London decided to turn the remains
of St. Dunstan in the East into the public garden,
which is accessible today if you know where to look.
Tucked away from the main road, the garden is situated
between the Tower of London and London Bridge.
The green, ivy-covered walls, trees and flowers
offer an enchanting escape from the city
and serve as a reminder of London's history.
