St. Oswald's Church-Grasmere
St. Oswald's church is located in Grasmere and is an active Anglican parish Church. It is dedicated to the Saint Oswald and many claim he preached there as well. It was originally built in the 14th century but the present church is the fourth one to stand there. Inside the church, you can see many remnants of the previous buildings including a stone head. The only remains of the church during the 14th century are the tower, porch, and south wall. The tower was built from unhewn boulders and the clock is there to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897.
Trafalgar Square
The area Charing Cross feeds into – Trafalgar Square – is one of London’s most famous public common areas lacking a green space. It is a bit redundant, but Trafalgar had historical significance built into it before it was even completed. Throughout the years, people have had many reasons to choose this square as their gathering place.

St Pancras Renaissance Hotel
I'm sure you passed this stunning hotel on our recent trip to the British Library, it was the giant monolith of gothic architecture whose clock tower stood tall over King's Cross Station. The history behind the Renaissance Hotel started with the railway. The Midland Railway company established a new station going into London and thus wanted a new place to house the huge influx of people coming into London.
