Hopefully it will help you appreciate and understand them a bit more and will give you some context.

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.

Churches

St Bride’s

From the Roman pavements in the depths of the crypt to the top of the 'wedding cake' Christopher Wren spire you will be astounded by what is within the only church dedicated to St Bridget in the East of England

Churches

St Botolph without Bishopsgate

Woof! The only church in the city of London to deliver an animal blessing service.
