St. Mary-le-Bow

St. Mary-le-Bow is a significant church in the City of London, with a history stretching back to 1080. Rebuilt by Christopher Wren after the Great Fire, it suffered damage during the Blitz but was carefully restored. The church is renowned for its bells, and tradition dictates that those born within their sound are true Cockneys. While relatively small in size, it holds considerable historical and cultural importance, offering a peaceful respite from the bustling city surrounding it. A cafe is located in the crypt below.
