    It once was.

    But now this famous neoclassical church in London is surrounded by the city, and looks out onto Trafalgar Square. It pioneered help for the homeless in the Victorian age and has a crypt that hosts jazz, as well as hosting its own premier orchestra. @tallis - have you had the pleasure?
