St Bride's Church, Lee (guest) wrote 9 years ago:

In the late 1940's early 1950's I worked for a firm - The Chartered Institute of Secretaries - who were located adjacent to this church. My office was on the semi/ ground floor that when one looked out the window you were looking at the headstones in the cemetery. That church and St. Paul's Cathedral were two of my favourite places in London. Lee.

The Columbia Hotel, Lynn (guest) wrote 9 years ago:

We've stayed there several times in the early 1980's because of it's history as a U.S. Military Officer's Club and it continued to offer discounts for U.S. Military Officers. 2016 we are returning to London. The rates quoted to me were more than what the "cheap" hotel web sites are offering. despite referencing past stays and Officer status. I am very disappointed. LtC USAF Retired
