St Augustine Watling Street, Anglican church in City of London, England
The church structure features a restored tower incorporated into St Paul's Cathedral Choir School, with architectural elements designed by Christopher Wren.
First documented in 1148, the original medieval church measured 61 feet long and was destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666.
The church served as a meaningful stop for travelers and pilgrims entering London via Watling Street, marking the end of their journey from Canterbury.
The remains of St Augustine Watling Street stand at the London terminus of Watling Street, near St Paul's Cathedral, with postcode EC4M 8AD.
A church cat named Faith received a silver medal for protecting her kitten among the ruins after German bombing raids destroyed the building in 1941.
