St Pauls, Covent Garden, London

x

Known as the "Actors Church" St Paul's  lies at the west end of Covent Gardens and forms a back drop to the many street performers who can be seen there every day. Inside it contains memorials to many favours Actors which lie mainly along the west wall. The church was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London and has a very grand Romanesque appearance.
The font is unusually wooden and has detailed carving including cherubs heads (above). The wood looks to have been painted white many years ago and has a wonderful patina.



St Paul's is open daily and is accessed through a door at the west end of the church rather than from the Piazza. Adjacent to it lies a lovely garden which offers peace and tranquillity in the otherwise busy city.
