What to See, Do & Eat
As well as The Monument, the area is home to one of London’s best hidden gems: St Dunstan in the East. It’s a strangely atmospheric garden set in the ruins of an old church that was also designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Leadenhall Market, a restored Victorian market on Gracechurch Street, is also well worth a look.
William's Bar and Bistro, an elegant bar with simple steak and lobster menu, is also described as a “hidden gem” by one reviewer. You can enjoy an afternoon tea there too with friends, clinets or coworkers. Regardless, there are plenty of places to find a bite to eat at lunch, including vegan-friendly Oliver and Squash and high street classics like EAT and Le Pain Quotidien.
