St Michael, Cornhill, Anglican church in City of London, England
St. Michael, Cornhill is an Anglican church in the City of London that was rebuilt by Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of 1666. The interior features Doric columns supporting the nave, arched ceilings that span about 83 feet, and a Gothic tower added in 1721.
The site was first recorded in 1055 and remained an important landmark through the centuries. Following its destruction in the Great Fire of 1666, Wren designed the current building, blending classical and Gothic elements.
The church upholds Anglican traditions with services that use historic English religious texts and choral music. Regular worship here remains central to the rhythm of the surrounding City.
The church sits on Cornhill Street next to Jamaica Wine House and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can attend regular services or stop by during lunchtime for the organ concerts.
The church hosts midday organ concerts that have been running continuously since 1916, making it one of the longest-running musical series of its kind worldwide. Visitors often drop by during their lunch break to enjoy the music and rest.
