St Bride

St Bride's is warm and welcoming, and one of the most famous and most fascinating historic churches in Central London. St Bride's is known worldwide as the Journalists' Church, offering a spiritual home to all who work in the media. However, our ministry extends to everyone who lives and works within our parish, and to the thousands of visitors who come to us every year.

St Martin within Ludgate

One of the most striking aspects about St Martin within Ludgate's exterior is its tall, sharp leaded spire, which when seen from the lower part of Fleet Street, is a deliberate foil to the massive rounded dome of St Paul's Cathedral beyond.

Temple 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. The round church is modelled on the church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. In 1608 King James I gave the whole area of the Temple to the two societies of lawyers, Inner and Middle Temple, who have maintained the church beautifully to the present day.

St Etheldreda

St Etheldreda's is the oldest Catholic church in England and one of only two remaining buildings in London from the reign of Edward I.
The church was built in 1290 by John De Kirkeby, Bishop of Ely. It is here that Shakespeare has John O'Gaunt making one of the finest speeches in the English language; ‘This blessed plot, this Earth, this realm, this England'.
