Action shot! Our new trustee, Boryana Ivanova, atop scaffolding at St Stephen Walbrook. Boryana particularly loves the City of London's churches - "Each one tells a unique story of resilience & adaptation. I love how they offer pockets of calm amidst the bustle of the city."

New trustee Eleanor van Heyningen's favourite historic space in London is West Norwood Cemetery. "One of the 'Magnificent Seven' Victorian cemeteries, I love that it not only tells the stories of so many lives, it's also a haven for biodiversity, nature & wildlife."
Anyone else want to share theirs?
