Railway to Heaven: A Church Crawl Via Tube

"This year of grace, 2013, sees the 150th anniversary of the London Underground Railway (tube). In honour of this occasion, we thought we would give you a little church crawl around the circle line...Over the coming weeks we will take you around each station on the Circular line and show you not only the station, but also a church and a place of interest, so that those of you who are impeded by distance or other reasons from seeing the delights that central London has to offer in the flesh may not be bereft of some of the experience." The Watts Church Crawl.
The series is posted on the blog of ecclesiastical gear-maker Watts & Co, and is packed with all sorts of trivia. Making appearances: T.S. Eliot! Paddington Bear! Gorgeous architecture both heavenly and earthly (oooh, iron lattice work)! A giant trainspotter! Tiny Prince George! Stained glass!
The Station/the Church (the travelogue so far):

The Watts site is super fun and I am just going to have to keep this for treats because there is so much here. Maybe I'll spend the winter on a virtual tour of London with this as my guide. It will make a nice change from Google street view which has not behaved correctly for quite some time. But I digress. Thank you for this new good thing, MonkeyToes.
