Come and explore the legacy of Sir Christopher Wren: such wonderful church designs.

Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece is St Paul's Cathedral with its dome. He was an inventor, scientist, mathematician, astronomer and architect. Our tour will include the American chapel and a view of Wren's tomb and commemorative sculpture of important Britons.

And if the cathedral is his masterpiece, the many churches in the City of London he re-designed after the Great Fire of 1666 each add an individual jewel to his crowning glory. That there are so many churches in such a confined area is unique and you might wonder how the guide can find them all ! I have my favourites. . . . . . you can form your own views - but there is a huge choice!
