A clue: Almost hidden in the foliage at the left of the pic is a red phone kiosk.

Given up ?

The answer is hidden in the post !

I live in Gravesend, Kent, but the photo is from neighbouring Northfleet.

Hope you enjoy your UK visit !

A fellow Gravesender has taken another view of the two things designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott:

The phone box is seen more clearly there.

And here is a better view of the 'Our Lady of the Assumption' church:

Sir Giles did a better job on the phone box, didn't he ?
