St Vedast Foster Lane, English Baroque church in City of London, United Kingdom.
The church features a three-tier spire rising above Foster Lane, with medieval elements preserved in its south wall and Georgian-style adjacent rectory.
Originally established before 1308, the church underwent reconstruction by Christopher Wren between 1670 and 1673, following damage from the Great Fire of London.
St Vedast Foster Lane contains artifacts from other demolished London churches, including woodwork and historic memorials that reflect ecclesiastical traditions.
The Grade I listed building stands at the intersection of Foster Lane and Cheapside, maintaining regular worship services and community activities.
The church houses a Hans Feibusch mural depicting Jacob and the Angel, while its ceiling displays intricate plasterwork with gold and aluminum leaf.
