Hidden within the walls of the ancient St Barts Hospital is the church of St Bartholomew the Less… part medieval, part Georgian and part Victorian… this church is a welcome place of contemplation for the patients of and visitors to the hospital. It also has an unusual shape and some stained glass of note. It's a short podcast but not a lesser one!With thanks to Kevin Larder and Alexandra Epps from Art in the City.

Churches

St Batholomew the Less

Churches

St Etheldreda

A medieval and spiritual survivor hidden behind the diamond district you'll find this rare gem of a church. Not in the city, but very close!

Churches

St Helen’s Bishopsgate

Here you will find nun's squints, raised floors, sunken fonts and the oldest sword rest in the City. More than this, here are two churches rolled into one.

Churches

St Margaret Lothbury

An unspoiled Wren church full of 'things' from the lost City of London churches, St Margaret Lothbury is intriguing. Its name, its history and its position in the city make this quite a unique place.

Churches

St Bartholomew the Great

Some of the spectacular features of this 900 year old half-church are its Norman architecture, its delightful memorial to the Whitings family, a golden Damien Hirst sculpture of St Bartholomew and... its hot cross bun ceremony.

Churches

St Mary Abchurch

St Mary Abchurch has a dome and wood carvings that typify Christopher Wren's magnificent churches and yet its so unassuming and tucked away.

Churches

St Mary-le-Bow

So old, and yet so new. Hear about the Bow bells, the 9 ft dragon, the Norman undercroft, the 'peculiar', the radiant stained glass... and more!

Churches

St Andrew Holborn

Christopher Wren's largest parish church (now a guild church) is well hidden below Holborn Circus. But don't miss out on St Andrew Holborn where Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, children's champion Thomas Coram and novelist Charles Dickens are all connected.
