Decorative chimeras and a Dragon weather vane are fun touches that encourage the worshippers to come inside this historic church in the Cheapside area of the City of London.

Rebuilt by Sir Christoper Wren after the church formerly on this site burned in the 1666 Great Fire, the church was almost totally destroyed during the Blitz bombing campaign of World War II.

The church was rebuilt and reconsecrated in 1964 using Wren's plans.
