St Stephen Walbrook
(
Highly Recommended
)
This is the Lord Mayor of London's parish church and is arguably the finest of all the City's churches. Built by Christopher
Wren between 1672 and 1679, its dome was the first in England and was clearly a prototype for Wren's engineering tour de force,
the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. The church was beautifully restored between 1978 and 1987, with the original dark-wood fittings
making a striking contrast to the gleaming white marble floor and the controversial giant white 'Camembert cheese' stone altarpiece,
designed by Sir Henry Moore in 1972.
