| Elsyng Spital Church Tower. |
The City of London is full of churches. Some are still in use, while others are ruins. Some of these ruins have been turned into pocket gardens, where people can go to escape the bustle of the city. Others, like Elsyng Spital Church Tower, have been left as they are.
I like that places like this have been left, rather than bulldozed, now standing alongside the new office blocks which, no doubt, won't last as long.
This is all that remains of the tower of the church of the medieval hospital of Elsyng Spital.
