St Mary Aldermary

A lovely lovely Church with beautiful ceilings and stained glass. Not a very big Church but high ceilings. What is a must here is the excellent Host cafe that served delicious cakes and tea in pots. Very busy though and people do tend to stay there for a long time so getting a table could be challenging. Very pleasant service.

The cafe is open from 7.30am-4pm every weekday.

Of medieval origin, rebuilding began in 1510 and was not finished until 1632. Severely damaged just 33 years later during the Great Fire of London in 1666, it was rebuilt once more by the office of Sir Christopher Wren. Unlike most of Wren's City churches, St Mary Aldermary was reconstructed in the Gothic Revival style. In 1952 its role was changed from a parish church to that of a guild church, intended to serve commuters and non-resident workers within the City of London. The main church space acts a public cafe during weekday business hours, with religious and meditative sessions held during mornings and evenings.

Very interesting Grade I-listed anglican church in the City of London a couple of minutes walk from Mansion House Underground Station.

A church had existed on the site for more than 900 years but it was badly damaged during the Great Fire of London in 1666. It was mostly rebuilt by the office of Sir Christopher Wren in a gothic style. Great tower and lovely ceiling and organ.

The church operates as a cafe during weekdays and is well worth a visit.

A beautiful church in the city of London. One of Wrenn's post Great Fire of London Churches.
The "wedding cake" fanning on the ceiling is some of the best work in London if not the country.

What s an incredible ideia, to combine a coffee an a church to make it a social place where people , can be bythemself or with friends, pray or socializing, it has made this place very particular.

The team were amazing, pleasant and welcoming. It s a 5 star experience for me.

Really cute cafe in a church. Coffee was very good, staff was friendly. It was a litl busy.

My Husband and I came here for the first time on valentine's day, they reserved a table for us and put a rose on the table for us, the coffee was lovely and the staff were professional too. The church itself was astonishing and breathtaking, would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a different place to have a coffee/tea. We will definitely be visiting again.

Fantastic place to have a cup of coffee. Not only a great idea, but also good quality cafe. Must see if you're in the city centre and need to take a break. They also serve some snacks and sandwiches but I haven't tried, will do next time!

A very pleasant escape from the street outside, with excellent coffee and a quiet atmosphere for stress-free conversation.

A lovely church to visit. Check out the wall behind the alter. It's slightly out of line.
Host offering coffee . Monday to friday

Host coffee is amazing!! Great use of space. Brilliant coffee and food. Just go!!

Fabulous café in a very special church, highly recommended.

A beautiful church. Lovely decorative Plasterwork ceiling. They have a small coffee shop just inside, so you can sit and have a coffee while admiring the place.

Stumbled upon this gem during lunch time walk. I'm really impressed with the church and decor inside. I'm surprised to find a cafe inside and I must say they do excellent coffee. A delightful find. :)

Home of the Royal Tank Regiment laud up standards and our Church in London. What is not like about St Mary Aldermary. Well with a visit.

Great little coffee shop in the church... incredible surroundings for coffee and a biscuit or slice of cake.

Alternative coffee shop inside St Mary Aldermary's church! Loved the idea of having coffee in a church ! Great atmosphere and helpful staff !
Such a lovely place ❤

Such a hidden gem in the middle of the city. Beautiful church with a great coffee shop inside. All the proceeds go to charity/preserving the church.

It is one of the best places i have ever been. Awsome idea, very good cofe!

Very nice idea to have a cafe in a church to bring calm life into this beautiful location.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful location. Full points for the ambience and the presence of a cafe in the church. But, the food was terrible and the coffee was underwhelming.
