Wonderful church. Well worth spending an hour or so exploring every nook and cranny. The Damien Hurst statue is a bit gruesome but fascinating and blends into its surroundings seamlessly. I get great pleasure freaking people out by telling them about the plague mound just outside but that's just me. If you like this review please give me a thumbs up. More...

Atmospheric Church, is well worth visiting with its interesting checker board patterned walls, there is a small charge to visit.

Beautiful church. I am not an Anglican person. Actually I am not a religious person at all. I respect all faith .

This is one of London's few remaining truly ancient buildings. A visit is an absolute must for anyone interested in history. Go, allowing enough time to really take it in. Note, there is a modest admission charge. And beware, as with any church access is sometimes restricted for events like weddings. More...

The oldest church in the centre of London dating from the 11th century. So much history can be seen by walking through the church and reading the memorials. The program of wonderful events includes some really amazing choir recitals. More...

If you like searching you'll love finding St. Bart's! It is tucked away behind modern buildings, so you'll feel like you've stepped into some other era. Loved it!

Beautiful Church inside and out. I've been to a couple of the Easter services, which are very moving and gives you a real sense of the importance St Bartholomew still holds for people today. The Parish is one of the oldest with a long history unique to this part of London. I've sure the Christmas Eve service must be very special. More...

Lovely church and very friendly people. Beautifully lit and good to see an ancient church not scrubbed to within an inch its life but properly showing the trophies of antiquity.

An understated, rare example of Norman architecture in London.
A welcome alternative to the crowded bustle of the city.
Good value for money.
A warm and friendly welcome.
Thank you!

A brilliant church. To be fair, it's my Livery Company's home church so I'm kind of partial. I've been lucky enough to witness a number of ceremonies in the church and taken part as well. This place, to use the vernacular, rocks. More...

Absolutely amazing!!! A very quick way to get into the festive spirit. The building is more or less as it was in the 1500's; full of history and ancientness. The Carol services must be breath taking. More...

My Sister and I got a bit lost last monday and decided to ask for direction. We thank god for putting this pearl on our way. You have a beatiful and welcoming church. We were so warmly greeted at the door by Gordon Furry and the young man at the Cafè made the best fresh brewed coffee I had in days! I'll will surely return... one day. More...

Simply stunning carol service on Tuesday 20th December in this beautiful church. The choir and organist were amazing, the whole experience is now on my list for Christmas next year! Well done to Martin Dudley who has been so supportive to the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers and I believe is stepping down this year as Chaplain of this wonderful church. More...

What a beautiful unusual church. We visited it at the end of a service and were lucky to be able to listen to the organist playing this amazing instrument. We decided to go to the cafe for a coffee and cake and found ourselves very welcomed in the peaceful yet busy cloisters. Definitively will come back for a service More...

One of my fav spots in London... Quite hidden and as it’s close to St. Paul it doesn’t attract too many tourist but I highly recommend to visit it. .. The light and the environment are incredible, a perfect place for photographers and also if you are looking for a quiet place ... More...

Probably the oldest church of London, the Norman architecture of the twelfth century and the whole medieval strong structure give to this church an impressive atmosphere. I'd recommend a visit during a service: the choir is amazing, prayers and liturgy return this old place to life! More...

Wonderful exhibit of Norman architecture. Novelty value is the number of well known films and dramas filmed on site. Admission fee a bit steep at £5 for adults.
