Green Man in London
Is anyone aware of where I can find a Green Man in a church in London. I became interested in them from the episode Wicca Work in season 3 of the British TV show New Tricks. I found reference to one in Trafalgar Square but couldn't find any good directions for it.

I’d be interested in answers to this as well.
Green Man is even included on the Coronation Invitation:

Not aware of a list - you just have to look for them. Fitzrovia Chapel might be a good bet but generally the older churches are a better bet.
Re Trafalgar Square the only one that I can think of i St Martin in the Fields, can't say I have particularly seen one, but I wasn't looking for one either

Thanks to Google Street View I found one, actually two, next to Trafalgar Square. They are on Spring Gardens road where it intersects with Cockspur St.. They are in the building where the Pret A Manger is. They are above the door on the corner of the building.
I should be there to photograph at least one of them on October 30th of this year.
