File:Swiss Protestant Church - Endell Street, Holborn, London - Eglise-Suisse.jpg

English: We were going to get a bus from Holborn towards the South Bank, but the route we wanted didn't come, so we ended up walking via Covent Garden and the Waterloo Bridge.

Here after leaving High Holborn, we turned onto Endell Street, heading towards Bow Street.

Swiss Protestant Church - Eglise-Suisse. Walking past this building, it reminded me of my recent holiday in Switzerland (to St Moritz and Lugano).

It is Grade II listed.
