St Olave's Church, Medieval church in Southwark, England.
The church building stood on Tooley Street, which derived its name from a corruption of the church's name, St Olave's.
The original structure appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086, indicating royal patronage before the Norman Conquest of England.
The church honored Olav Haraldsson, a Norwegian king who attempted to convert his people to Christianity before his martyrdom in 1030.
The site now contains St Olaf House, which functions as part of London Bridge Hospital after the church's demolition in 1928.
The church founded St Olave's Grammar School and established charitable trusts that continue supporting local education and elderly care.
