St Botolph without Aldgate

Finding such a historic church as we walked towards Liverpool Street station from tower bridge was a real treat. The custodian made the history come alive as he explained each of the characters around the inner perimeter.
If you are interested in the history of London don't walk past this serene little church.

A church located in city centre. If you are a tourist, you can walk from Tower Hill DLR station or / tower gateway way look around tower bridge. Then walk towards to saint Botolph church. It’s a quiet church. There was a place around the church have lots of Sakura. It’s really stunning.

I lovely church of historical importance . The city has just grown up around it as if by magic . A must to visit for the London rambler and tourist CF

St Botolph’s Church, located in Aldgate High Street, London,
There has been a church on the site for over 1000 years, with the first Rector, Norman, recorded in 1108. The original Saxon building was enlarged in 1418 and almost entirely rebuilt in the next century. This church was demolished as unsafe in 1739.

The present building was finished in 1744. It is the work of George Dance the Elder, who also built Mansion House, the official home of the Lord Mayor of London.

The church is from around 1720 and has a stunning piece of Georgian stained glass and a more recent piece installed after the IRA City bombing. You are given a very warm welcome!

Beautiful church, oldest working organ in the UK apparently. Free 30 minute classical recitals at 1.00 each Wednesday.

This church is quite beautiful in an understated way: small but full of light, space and colour. It is distinctly high, which is very much to my taste, a place which which combines solemnity, tradition and friendliness. On Sunday there was a particularly powerful, eloquent and moving sermon, and I believe that many people, including myself, who are not regular churchgoers, but who were drawn to St Botolphs last week, felt that this and the earlier service of commemoration, helped them come to terms with the profoundly sad death of Her Late Majesty.

I attended the Liturgy of the Cross here today. A first for me. It was a beautiful and sublime experience. The fact that there were only a dozen or so in the congregation somehow made the service even more moving.

Victorian church on site of older places of worship

Calm and serene place of worship. Both the place and the people welcomes with an open heart and smile!

A quiet magical place

I went for an event by the "snails" the church was ringing the angelus at the time

there are beautiful cherry trees outside, enjoy it in March

A cosy feel to this church ⛪ which has lunchtime recitals at 12.30 on Wednesdays for 30 minutes long and is a stones throw from Aldgate tube.

Fantastic historic City church - you can expect to find gorgeous interiors and decorations all around - despite the not very promising construction site all around it. I especially enjoy their bells playing at evenings and the lunchtime recitals on Wednesdays.

Beautiful church in the middle of the city

Very beautiful Church, and full of history.

One of the most remarkable churches in the City of London - if you're in the area you must check out its amazing Victorian era stained-glass windows, and that Victorian curiosity Postman's Park is just next door.

Lovely church with peaceful landscaped forecourt. Activities include recitals Wednesday lunchtime. Excellent coffee outlets nearby

A welcoming and beautiful haven in the bustling City - with a fascinating history - and a commendable inclusive approach to its religious practices. Well worth a visit.
