An absolute Gem. Beneath the Priory Church, the Norman Crypt is one of the few London buildings of its period and is powerfully evocative of its history. Romanesque and Gothic arches, memorial plaques, beautiful glass and fascinating tomb effigies embellish. Also on street level a lovely Cloister Garden.
And then visit the excellent Modern Pantry for delicious food, and follow with cocktails at The Zetter Townhouse. All located on the same square.
