On 2 September 1666, the Great Fire of London broke out and devastated around four-fifths of the buildings within the medieval City of London. Sir Christopher Wren was instrumental in replacing over 50 of the lost churches as well as providing us with the world-famous St. Paul’s Cathedral.
On this walk through the ancient streets of London, you will discover not only the majesty and history of St. Paul’s but also visit Wren's other elegant and understated masterpieces. Along the way, you will learn about his extraordinary career and see some of the churches which inspired the English Nursery Rhyme “Oranges and Lemons”! The tour will finish with three pre-fire churches at the edges of the city that were lucky to escape the inferno and now co-exist with some of the most stunning modern architecture to have been unveiled in recent years.
