If you're religious, you probably already have a church that you like to go to for alone time (or community time or any other sort of religious time). For everyone else, there's St Paul's Church in Covent Garden. Colloquially known as The Actors' Church due to its rehearsal and performance spaces, St Paul's also still functions as an Anglican holy place. They have regular services and religious events but the environment is extremely welcoming to non-believers. They also have a variety of secular celebrations on the church grounds. But the thing that makes St Paul's so perfect for solitary wanderers is its garden. Covent Garden is a bustling nightmare of roaming tourists and angry locals and way overpriced restaurants. Yet duck through the church gates and it's like you've been dropped somewhere else entirely- somewhere remote and quiet and with comfy benches where your loner-behind can park for hours.
