St James's Piccadilly

( Worth Seeing )

This 'little piece of heaven in Piccadilly' was built between 1676 and 1684 by Christopher Wren, though it was badly damaged in World War II and has largely been rebuilt. The main artistic interest of the church is the work of Grinling Gibbons, the greatest woodcarver in 17th-century England. However, the church's popularity, particularly with local Londoners, lies in the numerous cultural activities it promotes, including a craft market and regular top-class concerts and recitals.
