Find a church

Welcome to the historic and beautiful Temple Church, built by the Knights Templar, the soldier monks who protected pilgrims to the Holy Land during the Crusades.

There are very few historic places in London where the early medieval period is so beautifully preserved as at St Bartholomew the Great, even entry to the church is through a 13th century arch with a half timbered gatehouse.

The chapel has been, variously, the Chapter House of a Carthusian monastery, a storage place for Henry VIII’s hunting equipment, and the private chapel of a Tudor mansion.

Part of the headquarters of the Mothers Union, this chapel is full of images and artwork celebrating women.

The Chapel of St Mary Undercroft was completed by King Edward I in 1297, further developed under Edward II, and finally completed by Edward III in around 1365.

A warm welcome awaits you no one is turned away.

There has been a church on this site since Saxon times, but the present building dates from 1450.

St Bride's is warm and welcoming, and one of the most famous and most fascinating historic churches in central London, it is known worldwide as the Journalists church, offering a spiritual home to all who work in the media.
