Review of Chartherouse in Southwark

Beautiful inspiring nugget in the midst of the cap...

Beautiful inspiring nugget in the midst of the capital. Building from 1348 (monastery, school for John Wesley, now almshouse) with chapel, museum and shop free to public. Greeted with news of an interactive archeology type hands on view with enthusiatic friendly people to explain bits dug up on site. Happening every Tuesday for couple of months. Tranquil chapel and number of nice things to buy in the shop. Only snag was the smell of delicious food (only for residents) but plethora of cafes nearby.
