"This is my nomination as the most beautiful of the churches in the City of London. It was also built bySir Christopher Wren, and I’d go so far as to say that it’s a London must see. It’s a beautifully proportioned Church, appearing quite small from outside but inside there’s a soaring, lofty central dome and wonderful sense of space."

"St Stephen Walbrook has the most beautiful interior of all Wren’s churches reputedly. He was experimenting with his plans for St Paul’s Cathedral. St Stephen is a variation on the same theme – an un-English central dome married to a traditional English church plan of nave with aisles, chancel and crossing transepts."

"Sir Christopher Wren is best known for the design and construction of St Paul’s Cathedral. He also built many other churches around London after the Great Fire. He probably did more to shape the appearance of London than any other single person, all the way through to the 19th century."

"Begun by Sir Christopher Wren in 1694 as a rest home for ancient mariners, the college became a school in 1873. It's still used for classes…"

"Now, versions of the Peruvian national dish pop up on all sorts of menus across the capital, and that’s largely thanks to its namesake restaurant putting it on our relatively small map. Ceviche’s Soho and Old Street restaurants serve the dish of fish cured in citrusy “tiger’s milk” in a variety of flavour-packed forms: ceviche Peruano offers a traditional mix of seabass, sweet potato, red onion and Andean corn, while the “Passionate” tiradito sees slithers of salmon swim in a passion fruit-infused curing liquor.

With dedicated service from a crack front-of-house team, this large and comfortable place is one of our most exciting discoveries."
