Lonely Planet review for St Stephen Walbrook

Along Walbrook, past the City of London Magistrates Court, is St Stephen Walbrook, built in 1672. Widely considered to be the finest of Wren’s City churches and a forerunner to St Paul’s Cathedral, this light and airy building is indisputably impressive. Some 16 pillars with Corinthian capitals rise up to support its dome and ceiling, while a large cream-coloured boulder lies at the heart of its roomy central space. There is a modern altar by sculptor Henry Moore, cheekily dubbed ‘the Camembert’ by critics.
