This isn't so much a comment on the liturgy, but more about the description of the area. Report here
I was curious to see that the MWer described the area as being a "rare piece of greenery in London".
Rare? Really? I know that area very well and I can assure the MWer that within walking distance of the church are many other green areas including Rye Common, Dulwich Park and a number of playing fields and golf courses.
London is, of course a very large place but even so, throughout the metropolis there are plenty of large green open spaces, so the description of this small piece of green outside the church as "rare" is wildly inaccurate.

Probably just a mistype on the part of the author. I suspect what they meant is that it is on a fairly busy road, surrounded by a lot of other buildings so stands out as being a bit of green.

It was, however, precisely what he had written in the draft -- not edited.
