Temple Church

• This church was built in the 1100’s by the Knight’s Templar and is noteworthy for its peculiar round shape. It was heavily damaged in WWII, though it was restored afterward.
• St Mary-le-Bow – This church was rebuilt after WWII, having also previously been rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666. Tradition says that the only true Cockneys are those who are born within earshot of St Mary’s bells.
• St Olave Hart Street – This is one of the smaller churches in the city, and one of the few that survived the Great Fire of 1666. The present building dates from around the 15th century, though it too was heavily damaged in WWII.
