St Leonard's Church, Shoreditch, Anglican church in Shoreditch, England
The church features a Palladian architectural design with a prominent tower, four Corinthian columns at the entrance, and large arched windows along its walls.
The current structure, built between 1736 and 1740 by architect George Dance the Elder, replaced an earlier medieval church associated with Elizabethan theater performers.
The church contains significant connections to London's theatrical heritage, with numerous actors from Shakespeare's era buried in its crypt, including James Burbage and his sons.
Services take place every Sunday morning, with the church remaining open for visitors during weekdays from 9 AM to 4 PM except during private events.
The Richard Bridge organ from 1757 stands as one of the most important 18th-century musical instruments in England, used regularly for BBC broadcast concerts.
