PROGRAMME CHART AND SITE ANALYSIS

Thesis Project – University of Westminster

St. Dunstan's Church in the East

PROJECT NAME

Programme Report as Part One of Thesis Project


— DATE

Sept 2022 – Jan 2023

St. Dunstan’s in the East is a forgotten treasure of London which deserves to be seen. Many surrounding ruins within the area are main tourist attractions with thousands making up their footfalls everyday. It is very accessible and has a different atmosphere to the busy street that lies to its north. Once you step down Idol Lane, there is a change in ambience and I think this should be appreciated by those who need a different space compared to a busy city.
