The ruins of the St. Dunstan-in-the-East church in London, which now serves as a public garden.

The church was originally built around 1100, heavily damaged during the Great Fire of London in 1666, and subsequently destroyed by bombing in 1941 during World War II.

Rather than rebuilding the main structure, the City of London Corporation turned the ruins into a public park in 1967.

It is known for its picturesque appearance, with ivy and climbing flowers growing over the forgotten stone arches and gothic window frames.
