Until recently, this was my regular place of worship in central London. Beautiful church, architecture and a wealth of statues and other adornments. Sunday worship is at 11am and, Covid restrictions permitting, is a sung Solemn or High Mass using traditional language, with all ceremonies, carried out by a highly competent serving team. A small but well formed choir sing the Mass settings which are different each week. Prior to Covid putting an end to such things, there was a lively and convivial after-Mass gathering either in the Crypt or in the small outdoor garden, at which food and drink was always offered. Hopefully this will return if and when Lockdown restrictions are lifted. The Clergy team are genuinely welcoming and friendly, without being over-bearing. Weekday Low Masses are currently on Tuesdays to Fridays but during the day only, reflecting the demographic of the parish. If you are looking for perfectly executed High Anglo-Catholic worship in central London, you would be hard pressed to find better than this.

After climbing up the 311 stairs of Sir Christopher Wren's monument to the Great Fire of London, then going down to the church he designed..St. Magnus the Martyr is a \must see
What a beautiful church! Its not imposing from the outside but inside is magnificent. It is also the home to a lovely model of the old London Bridge.
Unassuming from the outside, it is actually a lovely little church. It is very peaceful inside and the smell of incense lingers, adding to the atmosphere. I am not a believer, but I like its serenity.
Like all of the City churches, this is another haven of peace and tranquillity, despite being next to a very busy trunk road. It is steeped in history, thought to date from at least the 12th century, but the present church is a Wren church dating from 1676 having been rebuilt after the Great Fire of London 1666. The church sat on the approach road to the Old London Bridge (demolished 1831) for 600 years , with pedestrian access to the bridge gained though the archways under its tower. There is a model of the Old London Bridge inside the church, and some masonry in the churchyard possibly from that bridge too. Attached to one of the arches of the tower is an ancient wooden pile, from a Roman Quay that was located near this site. There is an information plaque about excavation of this Roman quay, on the opposite side of the road, up on the high-walk bridge.
