London's backyard, Canterbury.

Canterbury, a town in Kent, southeast England, is not only the first foothold of the Roman Catholic Church in England, but also the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the de facto leader of the Anglican Church. The town, with its cobblestone lanes and wooden houses, seems to take you back to medieval England. Canterbury is known as "London's backyard". Its heart, Westgate Gardens, is a picturesque riverside public garden that is unforgettable. Canterbury Cathedral and St. Augustine's Abbey have been listed as World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations. The Crooked House, a landmark leaning building mentioned in Dickens' "David Copperfield", has Dickens' words on the lintel, and even the door is crooked. It has become a landmark leaning building in the city, which is fascinating.
