St Swithin, London Stone

City of London, United Kingdom

No longer standing

Demolished or destroyed.

St Swithin, London Stone was an Anglican church in the City of London, situated on the north side of Cannon Street between Salters' Hall Court and St Swithin's Lane. Originally of medieval origin, the church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London and subsequently rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren in the Baroque style. The rebuilt structure survived until the Second World War, when bombing caused severe damage; the remaining ruins were finally demolished in 1962. The street name St Swithin's Lane, which runs north from Cannon Street to King William Street, preserves the church's memory.
