From well-known churches such as St Bride, Fleet Street, (known as “the Journalists’ Church”) to St James, Garlickhythe (“Wren’s Lantern”) to Temple Church (featured in Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code), this book is a must-read for anyone with an interest in the City’s churches. More than 110 colour photographs, a glossary, and a map round off this fascinating guide.
