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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
St Botolph without Bishopsgate
Woof! The only church in the city of London to deliver an animal blessing service.
St Stephen Wallbrook
This is said to be the most perfectly proportioned building in the world. It is also where Samaritans began its life and where you can sing to your hearts content every week.
St Katharine Cree
St Katharine Cree was built to keep the riff raff out of the nearby Priory. It pre-dates the Great Fire of London. Every year a sermon is preached from here entitled 'In the Lion's Den'. And most movingly, it is the church where people who have a connection to the sinking of the Lancastria (1940) remember this tragedy. All of this, and more, is shared in this podcast - the 30th in the series.
The Dutch Church at Austin Friars
The Dutch Church is one of the most hidden of the City churches and one of the newest… but its history stretches back to the 16th century and its internal features are extraordinary.
Croydon Airport

The Battle of Britain Bunker, Uxbridge

Clapham South Deep Shelter
