    St John The Baptist Church

    Walk to St John The Baptist Church. Arrive early enough to find a quiet spot inside or just outside the entrance. The three naves are beautifully lit by the fading golden light before the sun dips below the horizon.

    The Club

    End the evening with a drink or light meal at The Club. It is just an 11-minute walk from the church. The underground space is hip and great for chatting, or you can head to the tea room for a quieter finish.
