St Swithin, London Stone, Baroque Anglican church in City of London, England.

The rectangular church featured an octagonal dome supported by columns and a tower with spire at the northwest corner.

First recorded in the 13th century, the church was rebuilt by Christopher Wren in 1678 after the Great Fire of London destroyed it.

The church holds the distinction of being the only St Swithin dedication in the City of London, named after the Anglo-Saxon Bishop of Winchester.

The site transformed into a garden at the northern end of Salters' Hall Court after the church demolition in 1962.

The church stood opposite to the London Stone, an ancient limestone block that served as a Roman distance measurement point.
