This popular walking tour explores the remarkable City Churches of London, focusing on the architectural genius of Sir Christopher Wren. This tour can be customised to your interest—perhaps you're an art enthusiast and want to see Damien Hirst's work at Great St. Bartholomew's, or a history buff eager to learn about the London "Cockney" at St. Mary-le-Bow. As an added bonus we'll also visit the Temple of Mithras—a free-to-enter interactive historical recreation of a “Roman Temple for soldiers”.

Tilbury to Central London

We'll pick you up right from Tilbury port in your own classic London Black Cab and whisk you away to the heart of London. Your friendly guide will share some interesting facts about the area as we travel. Once we arrive, you can either let your guide lead the way to some of the top attractions, or you can tell us which ones you'd love to see – it's your tour!

Discover London's Historic Churches

Exterior of the church towards the brick spire.

In the 17th century, there were 107 churches within the 'Square Mile' of London. 86 of these were destroyed in the Great Fire of London and 51 were subsequently rebuilt. The Blitz of World War II destroyed many more, and some were not rebuilt. Today, 23 churches remain, along with 4 towers and partial ruins of two churches that now serve as places of contemplation.

Remains of arch from garden with foliage and wisteria.

As a former cab driver and a member of the FCC (Friends of the City Churches), I'm passionate about sharing the rich history and stories hidden within these often overlooked gems. These dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to open the churches to the public, allowing us to experience their unique beauty and delve into their fascinating past. I've personally "watched" a few churches so far, contributing to their preservation, and I'm eager to share more of these hidden treasures with you in the future.

Naturally, this tour will include a visit to St. Paul's Cathedral, Wren's masterpiece and a cornerstone of London's Baroque architecture. We'll also explore other captivating sites:

Ornate gold coloured pipes with carved oak.
  • St. Bride's Church: Explore this iconic church, long associated with journalists and newspapers, and admire its elegant Wren-designed architecture.
  • St Stephen Walbrook: Discover the fascinating history of the first Samaritans branch, which operated from a crypt beneath this church.
  • Holy Sepulchre London: Located across from the Old Bailey, this church is famously mentioned in the nursery rhyme "Oranges and Lemons." as "the Bells of Old Bailey".
  • St Martin, Ludgate: Designed by Wren, this church boasts a fascinating inscription claiming that Cadwallo, King of the Britons, is buried within its grounds.
  • St Botolph's Aldgate: Delve into the history of this church, with records dating back to 1115.
Exterior of the building with clock.
  • St. Dunstan-in-the-West: Marvel at the unique façade of this Fleet Street church, featuring a chiming clock with intriguing giant figures.
  • St Olaves: Witness the resilience of this church, whose bells were melted during the war and later recast using the original foundry.
  • Allhallows Aldgate: Another popular destination with its own unique charm.

Return to Tilbury

After your London experience, your driver will escort you back to Tilbury Port. We'll coordinate the return journey to ensure you arrive with plenty of time before your ship sails.

Mix and Match

For a truly personalised experience, particularly for families, we can mix and match features from any of our tours. Simply tell me your interests, and I'll design a bespoke tour that everyone will love.
