St Martin's-in-the-Fields

I gave my accounting of my visit here: http://www.43places.com/entries/view/3400097#comments

Needless to say I rather enjoyed it.

I came here for a carol service years ago.

I thought I was on my game, having gotten out of my hostel by 8:30 in the morning, getting my Oyster card and hopping on the tube. Then I arrived at the National Gallery on that rainy morning only to find out that it didn’t open until 10 am. I had an hour to kill and didn’t want to spend money buying a coffee or a second breakfast and didn’t want to stand out in the rain, so I wandered over to the church and they were rehearsing before mass. FANTASTIC! I never thought there was anything special about a choir, but god they were good.
