Quaker Court

The Quaker Court Buildings are a gateway to the unique but small Quaker Meeting House and it's Gardens, the gardens are a quiet haven hemmed in on four sides by buildings but still retaining it's dignity and grace, the Quaker meeting House is still in use and I often observe the parishioners through the window deep in their silent prayer a thing to admire is these busy times, the gardens are formally laid out but pleasant to meander around, it has the beauty of long established trees which have grown with the passing decades, but this is no stagnant little park, this is the borders of the the city of London, during the average weekday it is alive with people, from office workers eating their takeaway food from whitecross street or the the people making use of the high fenced basketball ball court come five aside football pitch, for the little ones there is special play area gated off from the rest of the park, the whole little special park is designated a dog free area so the little ones are protected and go free and enjoy theirselves, passing south through the gate, turn left towards Bunhill Fields and Wesley's Chapel, please not at the end of the alleyway the last part of the cobblestone alley is a Small section of Wooden pathway laid down when this was where the Brewers Dray Horses pulled their load from the brewery and the wooden road quietened their passage without disturbing the locals, if you turn right from the gate you will pass through the Peabody Estate and enter Whitecross street market, to you right at the top is the magnificent LSO ST.Lukes, home of the London symphony orchestra, turn left and you have the Local Large Waitrose to shop in, beyond lies the Barbican centre in silk street, do not pass the cote restaurant without a glance, I had a very memorable reunion with my long lost sister last year and the attentive but never intrusive waiter helped the evening more than I thought possible, the food was excellent and we both left contented after a quiet relaxed Meal, across the road is the Barbican centre and the place to visit if you are exploring the city of London, a cultural masterpiece and surprisingly a good place to hang out by it's large lake and fountains, no shortage of places to sit and food and drink readily available with three places to indulge yourself and relax.
