London recent comments:

Famous for the fact that Tony Blair (former Prime Minister of Great Britian) and his family moved here after they had to give up their several free "tied" houses that came with his job. His new neighbours were most unimpressed (if press reports are correct) due to the continued police and media pressence

Apparently closed down (12th November 2008).

This was one of the first churches to be rebuilt by Christpher Wren after the great fire of London. With its location being so close to Fleet Street it's no wonder that this is known locally as "The Journalists Church"

Orient Way is where the Eurostar trains are currently maintained

Was formerly known as the Regents Canal Dock

This is the church that is refered to in the childrens nursery rhyme, Oranges and Lemons from the line: "I do not know" say the Great Bells of Bow" The original childrens nursery rhyme is sung thus: "Oranges and lemons" say the Bells of St. Clement's" "You owe me five farthings" say the Bells of St. Martin's" "When will you pay me?" say the Bells of Old Bailey" "When I grow rich" say the Bells of Shoreditch" "When will that be?" say the Bells of Stepney" "I do not know" say the Great Bells of Bow" "Here comes a Candle to light you to Bed" Here comes a Chopper to Chop off your Head" Chip chop chip chop - the Last Man's Dead." To be a true Cockney you need to have been born within the sound of Bow Bells, and it is the bells in this very church that people refer to. During the war a lot of cockney's could have been born an awfully long way away from the church itself, due the fact that the BBC used the peal of the bells to start their news bullitens. Dick Whittington who was Lord Mayor of London four times was always said to be called back to London by the sound of these bells. The character Dick Whittington was based on a real person, a cloth trader who genuinely was elected Mayor of London four times

This is the church that is refered to in the childrens nursery rhyme, Oranges and Lemons from the line: "When will that be? say the bells of Stepney" The original childrens nursery rhyme is sung thus: "Oranges and lemons" say the Bells of St. Clement's" "You owe me five farthings" say the Bells of St. Martin's" "When will you pay me?" say the Bells of Old Bailey" "When I grow rich" say the Bells of Shoreditch" "When will that be?" say the Bells of Stepney" "I do not know" say the Great Bells of Bow" "Here comes a Candle to light you to Bed" Here comes a Chopper to Chop off your Head" Chip chop chip chop - the Last Man's Dead." Each church refered to in the rhyme has some connection with what is being sung about it. St Dunstan's has always had a long traditional link with the sea and it was once known as the 'Church of the High Seas'. Many sailors were buried in the churchyard. The phrase "When will that be?" could possibly refer to wives waiting for sailors to return from voyages with their fortunes, when their 'boat came in'.

This is the church referred to in the childrens nursery rhyme "Oranges and Lemons", with regards to the line When will you pay me? say the bells of Old Bailey. The Old Bailey which is across the road from this church does not have any bells, so these church bells are used in its place. Whe will you pay me, most likely refers to people sentenced to terms of imprisonment in Newgate Gaol which used to be directly oppersite this church. The bells of this church also chimed the time on the hour, which later became known as the "Death Knell" The original childrens nursery rhyme is sung thus: "Oranges and lemons" say the Bells of St. Clement's" "You owe me five farthings" say the Bells of St. Martin's" "When will you pay me?" say the Bells of Old Bailey" "When I grow rich" say the Bells of Shoreditch" "When will that be?" say the Bells of Stepney" "I do not know" say the Great Bells of Bow" "Here comes a Candle to light you to Bed" Here comes a Chopper to Chop off your Head" Chip chop chip chop - the Last Man's Dead." Each church refered to in the rhyme has some connection with what is being sung about it

Each church refered to in the rhyme has some connection with what is being sung about it. St Martins Church is located in an area which was frequented by money lenders, I can only assume that the cry, "You owe me five Farthings" would be heard coming from a money lender collecting his dues. A farthing was an old British coin, there was four farthings to a Penny. (It is believed that the word Farthing is a corruption of the term Fourthing, meaning to quarter in size)

According to the Munich Orientation Convention www.volksnav.com/LondonCity, the logical address of this place is: - StatusQuo(c) m9:25 r60 that means: - 60 x 100 meters from London Tower (radius) - in direction m9 (horizon hour) (m12 = from London Tower to north) and - 25 x 100 meters "later" than m9 (horizon minutes) Such codes will substitute postal codes, in harmony with maps and codes for crossings, stop points, bridges etc. .

This is the first of the churches refered to in the childrens nursery rhyme of Oranges and Lemons. The rhyme is sung thus: "Oranges and lemons" say the Bells of St. Clement's" "You owe me five farthings" say the Bells of St. Martin's" "When will you pay me?" say the Bells of Old Bailey" "When I grow rich" say the Bells of Shoreditch" "When will that be?" say the Bells of Stepney" "I do not know" say the Great Bells of Bow" "Here comes a Candle to light you to Bed" Here comes a Chopper to Chop off your Head" Chip chop chip chop - the Last Man's Dead." Each church refered to in the rhyme has some connection with what is being sung about it. In the case of St Clements it is the nearby Fruit wharfs on the Thames.

Each church refered to in the rhyme has some connection with what is being sung about it. Shoreditch was an impoversihed area of London, and the cry "When will I grow rich" must have been a daily phrase for many of the inhabitants.

On more than one occassion I saw a car that had come to grief after hitting a cow (the cows always had priority over motor vehicles) Dairy closed down in the late 1970's and was eventually demolished.

What is the significance of 30 Old bailey?

Famous for the fact that on a certain Wednesday in 2000, Tony Blair (prime Minister of Great Britain) made a speech about dealing with underage drinkers who cause anti-social behaviour. Later that week in the early hours of Saturday morning, one Mr Euan Blair (son of the Prime Minister) was found incapacitated (posh speak for being drunk) in Leicester Square, aged a delicate 16 years. He gave a false name, an old address and a false date of birth. Sadly as one of Britains most recognised kids this cunning plan failed and his dad was informed, along with the national press. Daddy was highly unimpressed and was forced to make a public climb down on his stance against underage tearaways, and no doubt gave Euan a well deserved thrashing once the press were out of sight.
