Visit a Church

London is full of free churches that you can visit. Most aren’t terribly old as they were bombed out during the war but many do date back to the 1600s! Here are some of the best:
  • Westminster Abbey – See above!
  • St Paul’s Cathedral – This Anglican cathedral is home to the Bishop of London and is one of the iconic sites of the city. The funeral services of many famous people have been held here, including Admiral Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, Sir Winston Churchill, and Margaret Thatcher.
  • Southwark Cathedral – Another Anglican cathedral, Southwark Cathedral was built in the 19th century from an existing church, though that particular site has been used by Christians for worship for over 1,000 years.
