The #CuttySark British clipper ship in #Greenwich shot by @tmnikonian - stunning capture under neath the copper hull that made this the fastest ship of her kind back in 1869, right before steam propulsion took over. For 10 years she held the record for the fastest transportation of wool from Australia, beating every sailing ship by 25 days to over a month. Not bad considering she was 14 years old at this point!

It isnβt St Paulβs taking the limelight this time... instead, have you heard of #BromptonOratory captured here by @sarahjanefouracres! ππ± Sitting in #Knightsbridge is this neo-classical Roman Catholic Church. Built in 1884, Brompton was a village back then, now more commonly known as #SouthKensington. This building was also once used by Soviet spies during the Cold War as a dead drop - a place to pass secret information between people and in order to communicate with Moscow! Fascinating! Thanks for the pic @sarahjanefouracres ππΌ // #thisislondon #londonlife #london #brompton
