Why it's Wildland
4.5A Piccadilly church by Sir Christopher Wren, with a rare limewood carving at its altar and former headstones set into the courtyard paving.
This is a historic urban church rather than a nature destination. Its particular appeal lies in its Wren design and the small, tangible details that reward a slower look inside and around the courtyard.
