I understand you frustrations, but your post has inspired me to commit a day to exploring City churches - thank you - regardless of which century they were built in.
|
|
In January I walked all the streets in the City, including all the alleyways, and visited many of the churches. Just glorious!
|
|
In visiting cities abroad, seeing some smaller churches is often a great idea. Yet for some reason, in the UK, only cathedrals spring to my mind. Thanks for the reminder of the many treasures which this blind spot of mine is hiding.
|
|
A day in the City spent visiting churches is now on my list, thanks!
|
|
Be warned a lot of City churches aren't open a lot of the time, so check first. And St Stephen Walbrook is closing for repairs imminently due to subsidence issues.
|
|
I'm not surprised re subsidence at St Stephen Walbrook... it'll be that altar!
|
|
They missed a trick by not calling it "20 Centuries in 1 Day" as the walk arguably spans 1st century to 20th without necessarily featuring a location from each intervening one. Still looks like an interesting outing.

Tony Tuckers Guide to City of London Churches is a worthy companion to take along. I never knew the tower of each Wren church differed from each other, though sometimes very subtly!
|
|
It's probably on another walk, but they're missing out on St. Stephen's neighbor, the Mithraeum, for another pre-conflagration building.
|

Thank you for bringing the original 21 walks to readers' attention. I spotted some of them towards the start of the first lockdown and thought they were a great initiative for exploring the city. Just now managed to download most of them from the old site before they completely disappear!
