The stretch of river close by St James was London's most important hythe, landing place, since Saxon times, with garlic, a vital preservative and medicine was unloaded here and traded on Garlick Hill, where the church stands.

The chapel at St Thomas’ Hospital has recently reopened after months of painstaking renovation work.

The Dutch Church is a reformed church on the site of the 13th century Augustinian friary, the original building granted to Protestant refugees for their church services in 1550 was destroyed during the London Blitz.

This is a Wren church with a steeple of 1713 and fine windows, including one for Dick Whittington, who is buried here.

Nothing prepares you, as you climb the 13 steps up to St Stephen for the majestic space within, the dome is Wren's finest and based on his original design for St Paul's.
