St Alban, Wood Street, Medieval church tower in Wood Street, City of London, England.
The stone tower stands 92 feet high in the middle of Wood Street, featuring Gothic architectural elements and four corner pinnacles at its summit.
The original church, dating from 930 AD, was rebuilt by Christopher Wren in 1685 following destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
The remaining tower represents the architectural evolution of London churches, reflecting both medieval influences and Wren's late Perpendicular Gothic style.
The nearest underground stations are St Paul's on the Central line and Moorgate serving the Northern, Circle, Metropolitan, and Hammersmith & City lines.
The tower now stands independently on an island in the middle of Wood Street after the main church body was demolished in 1965.
