List of churches in London facts for kids

```wikitext

London is a huge city, and it has many amazing buildings. Among them are hundreds of cathedrals, churches, and chapels. These are all Christian places of worship. A cathedral is a very large, important church, often the main church for a whole area. Churches are regular places of worship, and chapels are usually smaller.

This list explores some of the many Christian buildings in Greater London, England. London is split into 32 areas called London boroughs and the City of London. We'll look at some of the most well-known and interesting churches in these areas.

History of London's Churches

How did the Great Fire change churches?

Before the terrible Great Fire of London in 1666, the City of London was packed with churches. There were about 100 churches in an area of just one square mile! The fire destroyed 86 of these buildings. But don't worry, 51 of them were rebuilt, along with the famous St Paul's Cathedral.

Many people think that Sir Christopher Wren designed all these rebuilt churches. He was in charge of the rebuilding project. However, other talented architects like Robert Hooke and Nicholas Hawksmoor also played a big part. Their work is now getting more recognition.

What are Anglican churches?

The designs by Wren and his team set a new standard for church buildings in Britain. They gave a special look to the Anglican church in London. Anglican churches are part of the Church of England. Wren also designed Anglican churches outside the City, like St James's, Piccadilly. After Wren, Hawksmoor designed six large Anglican churches in the East End of London, such as Christ Church, Spitalfields. Other architects like James Gibbs also helped shape London's Anglican churches.

Churches across London

London's churches and chapels are incredibly many and varied. You'll find lots of Anglican churches, but also many Catholic churches. There are also places of worship for other Christian groups, known as nonconformists.

Most Anglican churches in London belong to the Diocese of London (north of the Thames) or the Diocese of Southwark (south of the Thames). Some churches in the east are in the Diocese of Chelmsford. A few in the Barnet area are in the Diocese of St Albans.

For Catholic churches, the Diocese of Westminster covers north and west London. The Archdiocese of Southwark covers south London. And the Diocese of Brentwood covers north and east London.

There are about 2,000 Anglican churches alone in London! If you add in all the other Christian churches, you'll find buildings from every time period and in every style. Many different architects have helped create them. As London grew in the 1800s, many new churches were built. This included "Waterloo churches" for Anglicans and many chapels for nonconformist groups.

Why are these churches important?

Sadly, some churches were destroyed in the 1800s or during the Second World War bombings. But many old and beautiful buildings still stand. You can find lots of them in the City of London and the City of Westminster. Some churches are even mentioned in the famous children's song Oranges and Lemons. Each church on this list belongs to a different Christian group, which is noted next to its name.
