“The oldest church in London, founded in AD 675. Beneath the church lies Roman ruins and a small museum detailing London’s history.”
All Hallows by the Tower is an Anglican church with the longest history in London, established around AD 675 by Barking Abbey. It has survived wars and the Great Fire of London multiple times, making it a significant religious and historic site.
Notable features include the Saxon arch bell tower, remnants from the church’s earliest construction period, and the crypt, which contains Roman ruins and a small museum displaying ancient artifacts, photographs, and maps related to London’s major historical events.
The church is connected to important historical figures such as William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, and Samuel Pepys, who witnessed the Great Fire of London in 1666.
Although damaged during World War II, the church has been beautifully restored and continues to serve as a place of worship.

Take the Circle or District line on the London Underground to Tower Hill station. The church is a 2-minute walk from the station, adjacent to the Tower of London.
