St Edmund, King and Martyr, London, Grade I listed church in City of London, England
St Edmund, King and Martyr is an English Baroque church located in the City of London. It features ornate interior decoration with carved woodwork and stained glass windows throughout.
Christopher Wren designed this building in 1670 as part of the reconstruction following the Great Fire of London in 1666. This rebuilding shaped the character of the area for centuries to come.
The church serves as a venue for concerts and community gatherings within London's financial heart. It continues to host Anglican services alongside cultural events that draw both local workers and visitors.
The church is accessible on foot and located near public transportation in the city center. Visitors should note that access conditions may vary depending on services or events taking place.
