Hawksmoor's Christ Church Spitalfields is very close to Wieden + Kennedy Towers, our swanky offices in London's fashionable east end.

I'm currently reading Peter Ackroyd's London Under and came across this interesting snippet of local info:

The graveyard of Christ Church, Spitalfields, was opened for business in 1729 and closed in 1859; between those dates some 68,000 people were somehow buried in the straitened space. At the time of excavation in 1993 soft tissue was still preserved on some of the bodies. Fears were expressed of a miasma overwhelming the archaeologists but they were misplaced.

Ackyroyd doesn't record what was done with those 68,000 (68,000 buried in that little church garden?!) exhumed bodies.

Meet Alex. He's a massive fan of The Kaiser Chiefs. We found him up in Leeds and invited him down to London for a preview of the new album. When he arrived he got a bit more than he bargained for. It was shot yesterday and edited during a mammoth all-nighter with Oli, Kim and Dannie. Dannie then went straight on to be maid of honour at a wedding. HARDCORE. Please spread the word about his album to help make him some cash. His link is: www.kaiserchiefs.com/Acaskie.
