St Mary Aldermary, Gothic church in City of London, United Kingdom.
St Mary Aldermary is a church with Gothic architecture located on Watling Street in the City of London. The building features a distinctive fan-vaulted ceiling, a prominent tower, and Victorian-era furnishings throughout its interior.
The original church dated to the 15th century but was completely rebuilt following the Great Fire of London in 1666. This reconstruction used the same Gothic style, making it unusual among churches built during that period.
The church now hosts two distinct congregations who share the sacred space and contribute different traditions to its character. Visitors can observe how these communities have woven their practices into the fabric of this historic setting.
Visiting is possible on weekdays between 11 AM and 3 PM, and the building has accessible facilities. Bicycle parking is available nearby, making it easy to reach from the surrounding streets.
Inside the church operates a café called Host, run since 2012 by a community initiative. The space merges spiritual and everyday life by offering fair trade products to both visitors and office workers nearby.
