St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe, Grade I listed church in City of London, England
The red brick exterior of St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe stands on Queen Victoria Street, featuring steep steps leading to its elevated terrace entrance.
After the Great Fire of London destroyed the original structure in 1666, Christopher Wren designed the new church building, completed in 1695.
William Shakespeare attended this parish for fifteen years during his work at the Blackfriars Theatre and purchased a residence in nearby Ireland Yard.
The church maintains regular services, with the St Gregorios congregation of the Indian Orthodox Church conducting Sunday worship in the building.
The church derives its name from the Royal Wardrobe, a storage facility for royal possessions that Edward III relocated near the building in 1361.
