Church of St Ethelburga, Bishopsgate

The Church of St Ethelburga features a nave with an arcade division, medieval architecture, and a square bell turret added in 1775.

The church, first recorded in 1250 as St Adelburga the Virgin, endured an IRA bomb explosion in 1993 that destroyed seventy percent of its structure.

Following reconstruction, the building transformed into the St Ethelburga Centre for Reconciliation and Peace, promoting dialogue between different religious and cultural groups.

Located near Liverpool Street station, the church maintains regular opening hours and offers spaces for meetings, meditation sessions, and community gatherings.

The church contains a nineteenth-century font bearing one of the longest known palindromes, which survived the 1993 bombing intact.
