St Clement Danes Church and Lord Dowding Statue
What to expect
Central London church has its origins in the 9th century building, but it is the structure built by Sir Christopher Wren that gives the current church its appearance. Memories, monuments and stories adorn every surface of this Anglican church: most of them relating to the Royal Air Force. The buildings airiness and light pervade its spaces, contrasting with the rich dark stained wood of its Baroque decorative detail. Look closely and you notice the RAF references are everywhere.
