Start Cannon Street station
Finish St Bride’s Church (near Blackfriars station)
Some churches are only open certain days of the week, so the exact route varies according to the day, but the most impressive and historic churches tend to be open every day so you’ll see inside St Stephen Walbrook, St Mary Le Bow and St Brides. Other favourites of ours to show people include St Mary Abchurch and St Peters Cornhill. We’ll tell you all about the architecture and history, not just of surviving churches but of London’s most interesting ruins. As well as religious matters, you’ll also see where the Samaritans were started, the spire that inspired the wedding cake and hear how Bow Bells became part of cockney history.
This is a particularly good walk to book in winter as we’re inside for a lot of the time.
