St Olave Hart Street, Gothic church in City of London, England
Saint Olave Hart Street features stone walls, medieval windows, and a brick tower constructed in 1732 near Fenchurch Street railway station.
The church structure dates from 1250 and survived both the Great Fire of London in 1666 and German bombing during World War II.
The diarist Samuel Pepys attended services here regularly and commissioned a special gallery for himself within the church interior.
Services occur every Sunday at 11:00 and Tuesday at 12:30, while general visiting hours run Monday through Thursday from 10:30 to 17:00.
The churchyard entrance displays carved stone skulls and crossbones from the 17th century, which Charles Dickens called Saint Ghastly Grim.
