Publisher Description

RECENTLY UPDATED FOR 2022! With nearly 90 high-resolution images, a new video and detailed tour itinerary, this is the definitive travel guide to London’s city churches.

The Great Fire of 1666 ravaged the old city of London, destroying all that was in its path, including St Paul’s cathedral and 87 parish churches. At the age of 37, the multi-talented Christopher Wren was appointed as Surveyor-General of the King’s Works and tasked with rebuilding what had been lost. It was a project that consumed him for the rest of his life. The fruits of Wren’s labors are on full view today, marvels of art and architecture wedged among the modern city. They are yours to discover.
