All Hallows-on-the Wall

Address: London Wall, London EC2M 5ND
Telephone: 020 7256 6240 (XLP charity)
Usual opening times: Wednesday 11am - 3 pm
Description: The medieval church escaped the Great Fire of 1666, but like a number of other survivors was in such poor condition that it was entirely rebuilt by George Dance the Younger in 1765/67. He was just 24 years old, but achieved an exquisite small interior of neo-classical simplicity regarded by John Betjeman as one of the most successful of the London churches' interiors. The offices behind the church are now home to a charity; as a 'guild' church, without a traditional parish, All Hallows is often used by other congregations for Sunday and weekday services.
