A song that, originally from the American gospel tradition, has traveled the world, is a perfect fit for this church, which the parish has entrusted to the patron saint of "All Saints." "Oh when the Saints go marching in, oh when the Saints go marching in, oh Lord, I want to be in that number, oh when the Saints go marching in." Over the decades, new versions of the lyrics have been created repeatedly; the original text cannot be verified due to the early oral tradition. Many artists have taken up the gospel song and released their own interpretations, such as Bruce Springsteen with his session band at a concert in Dublin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6eKkirEcgE

The George Inn in Southwark, London, is the city's only surviving galleried coaching inn, dating back to 1676. To fully appreciate its historical ambiance, consider visiting during weekday afternoons when it's less crowded, allowing you to explore the intricate woodwork and original features at your leisure. Don't miss the Middle Bar, once frequented by Charles Dickens, offering a unique glimpse into London's literary past. [1] https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/george-southwark

Original telephone booth with a royal mailbox next to it. You can only find something like this here. On my further tour, I saw many such telephone booths, which now serve as defibrillator stations. A practical idea.
