St James Garlickhythe is a Church of England parish church in the City of London, rebuilt by Christopher Wren's office following its destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Completed in 1674, the church exemplifies English Baroque architecture and is distinguished by its exceptional fenestration—earning it the nickname "Wren's lantern" for its profusion of windows. Recorded as a parish church since the 12th century, it serves as the official church of several City livery companies and is designated Grade I listed.
