Things to do in London, England: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Said to be the most complex and accomplished of Christopher Wren's churches (1672-79), the structure incorporates a large central dome and a cross-in-square plan, which recall the structures of Byzantium.

My Old School extendd the Invitation to all Old Boys to attend the inaugrial Christmas Carol Service in 2018 and, afterwards, mulled wine and hot mince pies! The same service was again held this year, 2019. St.Stephen Walbrook is the MOST beautiful church one could possibly imagine. It is well-worth visiting in its own right, if one finds oneself in London. The congregation sit in concentric circles around the central Altar which, l believe, weighs one ton of solid marble, St.Stephen Walbrook is steeped in history and is one of three in the area to have escaped the Great Fire of London. Close to the Mansion House, this is very much in the Financial District of "The Square Mile". W.G.

Tucked away in a side street, St Mary-at- Hill is easy to miss but well worth the detour for the wealth of history it contains.

Opened in 1701, this historic place of worship is the oldest Synagogue still in use in Britain.
Reviewed By bougivalbob - Thorpe Bay, United Kingdom
We read about this place in a National trust leaflet and decided to visit. You need to walk around the block a few times to find the entrance as it is tucked away in the middle of modern buildings. We were let in by a security guard who was very friendly and told us a little about the synagogue. We were the only visitors and sadly went on a day when there were no tours, but we were allowed to wander around the synagogue and given a short history leaflet to read. We only spent about 40 minutes here and will go back on a day when the tour guide is there. Worth a look at an historic site. Many thanks to the young security guard.

This church, designed by Christopher Wren and also known as Bow Church, is truly significant: anyone who is born within the sound of its bells is considered a "true" Londoner, or Cockney.

We didn't experience the peeling of the bells. Nevertheless it was a delightful visit to this Wren designed church, one of the first rebuilt after the 1666 fire. With a lovely facade and the imposing embellished tower and steeple, it made for a great first viewing. Inside is gorgeous. The vista through the spacious open nave is breathtaking, leading the eye to the altar area. This is stunning, with magnificent stained glass atop the altar. A captivating sculpture is suspended on high, comprising the crucified Christ with a Roman soldier and beseeching figures at the opposite side.
