The Church of Saint Dunstan is located in between the Tower of London and London Bridge. It’s a green quiet oasis and one of the absolute best secret finds during my most recent trip to London. What’s left is an incredibly successful architectural project where the remaining walls of the church have been incorporated into a pretty little garden.
This medieval church has been partially destroyed during WWII and the Anglican church decided not to rebuild it. Originally built in the 11-12th centuries and refurbished several times after that, Saint Dunstan in the East is my personal favorite of the hidden gems of London. Without further ado, these are some of the best hidden gems of London: 1. If you are looking for even more cool, unusual, and secret places in London, it might well be worth getting one of these guides. TIP: Before we continue to the best hidden gems of London, I want to share a few books that I stumbled upon while doing this research: Secret London – An Unusual Guide and The 500 Hidden Secrets of London.
