A sunset sightseeing tour of London will be held on a church rooftop as part of the Leytonstone Festival.

Visitors will ascend the 96 step spiral staircase to the spire of St John’s Church in Church Lane to look over the stunning views from east London.

There is also a chance to visit the restored interior of the Church and enjoy some live music and refreshments from 7.30pm.

Income from the tours will help the church meet the remaining costs of a recent refurbishment.

Tickets for adults are £12.50 and concessions are £6 for the Friday (July 3) and Tuesday (July 7) sessions.
