St Nicholas Cole Abbey, Grade I listed church in City of London, England.
The church features a square stone tower with a lead spire and small decorative urns positioned at each corner of the structure.
Following destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666, Christopher Wren redesigned the church in English Baroque style during its 1671 reconstruction.
The church served as a filming location for the 1951 movie The Lavender Hill Mob, which narrates the story of a gold bullion theft.
Sunday services begin at 11:00 AM with a pre-service gathering at 10:30 AM where coffee and pastries are served to visitors.
The name Cole Abbey stems from coldharbour, referring to a medieval shelter that protected travelers from unfavorable weather conditions.
