St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate, Anglican church in Bishopsgate district, City of London, England
St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate is an Anglican church in the City of London featuring a distinctive tower at its east end and a ground-floor section that serves as the chancel. The structure is a Grade II* listed building that was reconstructed in the early 1700s.
The original church dates from 1212 and survived the Great Fire of London in 1666. It was rebuilt between 1725 and 1729 under the architect James Gold.
The building displays memorials dedicated to soldiers from two London regiment battalions who died in service. These tributes form part of the space's everyday character and reflect the community's connection to military history.
The church sits near Liverpool Street station on Bishopsgate Road, making it simple to reach when exploring the financial district. Its position on a main road helps visitors find it without difficulty.
The churchyard holds a Victorian Turkish bath entrance kiosk from 1895, a charming relic of London's past entertainment. The grounds also feature the former hall of the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers, a guild that once thrived nearby.
