Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula — Attraction in London

Bifore I enter into this review,addressed to the Chapel Royal St. Peter ad Vincula in London,would like to point out that the nex ones will be addressed to other London churches no less important,from the historical point of view ,of this Chapel.

Had a wonderful (amended) tour of the tower(s) of London. Since it was so hot, and the beefeaters must wear a very heavy cloth uniform, we were able to sit inside the church and listen to a shorter version of everything.
