A look around a gothic inspired church in Westminster
Posted on December 22, 2012 | 2 CommentsAlthough just a couple of minutes walk from the activity of Victoria Street and around the corner from Channel4's head office, it is a church you would not casually pass unless you had certain reason to use the street it fronts onto. -
