Today, October 2, is Mahatma Gandhi's birthday.
As a mark of respect for this amazing man I thought you might want to pay your respects to him at an oft missed plaque in the St Paul's Cathedral precincts.
By the south gate of the Cathedral is a Friendship tree planted in honour of
Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) – apostle of peace and non-violence. It was
just down the road from here that Gandhi arrived in 1888 to study law at the
Inner Temple. He studied, took dancing
lessons, and joined the Vegetarian Society.
The most lasting impact of his English stay was an increased interest in
religious thought.
There are other tributes to Gandhi in the City... but those will have to wait for another day.
