Tucked just outside the old City walls, St Botolph’s Without Aldgate has been a place of welcome for centuries. One fun fact? Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe, got married here in 1683. A little piece of literary history hidden in plain sight. 📚📖

🐶⛪ Did you know? St Mary Abchurch once had dog kennels built into the high pews on the south side! Until 1957, churchgoers could bring their furry friends along for services.
