London Undone

The London Undone ‘City of London Churches’ podcast series: A journey around the magnificent and many churches of the City of London. Learn about their histories, architecture, associations, features and their spiritual lives today.
34. St Olave Hart Street has been described by John Betjeman, once poet laureate, as a ‘country church’ but was also described by Charles Dickens in one of his essays a century earlier as ‘the church of ghastly grim’. It was also the local church for the great diarist Samuel Pepys’s. Curious? Hear about these and its other connections in this podcast.
