St Alban, Wood Street is a Grade II* listed tower in the City of London, all that remains of a medieval church dedicated to Saint Alban. Rebuilt in 1634, the structure was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and subsequently reconstructed by Sir Christopher Wren in a Gothic design. The church survived until the Second World War, when bombing severely damaged the building; the ruins were cleared, leaving only the tower standing as a testament to the site's long architectural history.
