St Dunstan-in-the-West, Gothic Revival church in Fleet Street, City of London, England.
St Dunstan-in-the-West is a Gothic church with an octagonal nave built in brick and stone on Fleet Street. The interior features decorative stained glass windows and displays the architectural style of the 1800s.
A medieval church occupied this site until it was demolished in the early 1830s. Architect John Shaw designed the present building, which opened in 1830.
The church stands on Fleet Street, where printing shops and newspaper offices once clustered. Today this location recalls the role it played in London's media past.
The church welcomes visitors who wish to explore the building or attend services. Inside you will find a Romanian Orthodox chapel serving worshippers of that tradition.
The church clock from 1671 was London's first public clock with a minute hand. This early timekeeping innovation represented a significant technical advance for the city.
