Churches

St Clement Eastcheap

The smallest and least obvious of all City of London churches, St Clement Eastcheap is the church that features in the nursery rhyme 'Oranges and Lemons'. Today it's an office!

Churches

St Nicholas Cole Abbey

Fish, coffee and smudgy windows all appear in this beautifully restored Christopher Wren church which is also very well attended by the young city workforce.

Churches

All Hallows London Wall

No other City of London church is as surprising as this one. Its bleak and foreboding exterior betrays its crisp classical and bright interior.

Churches

St Sepulchre without Newgate

This church has the great combination of music and death! And who was St Sepulchre?

Churches

St Mary Aldermary is one of the few 17th century gothic churches you'll find in the City of London. At lunch you'll hear the hum of local workers enjoying their break but at the start and end of the day the relaxed breath of a meditation group.

Churches

St Vedast Alias Foster

St Vedast Alias Foster has a secret garden containing an ancient Syrian rock familiar to Agatha Christie, a Roman pavement and a memorial to a Russian soldier who is described thus: "This was a man".

Churches

St James Garlickhythe

Start your pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela here, but before you leave don't forget to listen to the church's famous bells and look for the mummified corpse hiding in the tower.

Churches

St Lawrence Jewry

Prominently placed on Guildhall Yard, this grand church has strong links with the City of London Corporation and the livery companies. Step inside for ceremonies, symbols and sensational stained glass windows.
