St Mary Magdalen Old Fish Street, Baroque church building in City of London, England.

The Portland stone church featured an 86-foot tower with a stone spire, displaying architectural elements inspired by the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.

Built between 1683 and 1687 at a cost of 4,315 pounds, the structure incorporated remaining walls from its predecessor destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666.

Located at the intersection of Old Fish Street and Old Change, this church stood near a medieval fish market that supplied London's population.

The building's location at coordinates 51.5125 latitude and -0.0975 longitude is now occupied by Old Change Square in central London.

Among eight City churches named St Mary, this was the only one dedicated to Mary Magdalene instead of the Virgin Mary.
