Churches marked † are (in part at least) by Wren. Any corrections would be welcome.

St. Paul's Cathedral† (consecrated 1708), from an old postcard in Steve Bulman's Collection. A distant high-level view, showing the cathedral as it's not possible to appreciate it from ground level. © Dave Westrap. Another view, © Aidan McRae Thomson, and another, © Gerard Doherty (2013). A 1963 photo shows the smog-blackened building, before it was cleaned, © Christopher Skottowe (1963). The south doorway, © Christopher Skottowe (1964). Cleaning started in 1965 - the cathedral in scaffolding; the north-west tower, the dome in scaffolding, all © Christopher Skottowe (1965), and the partly cleaned cathedral from Watling Street, © Christopher Skottowe (1966). Link1. Link2. Grade I listed.
St. Peter, Cornhill†. © Aidan McRae Thomson. Link.

St. Sepulchre-without-Newgate† (aka Church of the Holy Sepulchre) on Holborn Viaduct. Interior view. TQ 3175 8145. Both © Aidan McRae Thomson. Another view, © Gervase N. E. Charmley, and another, © Bill Henderson (2014). An old postcard view, from Paul E. Barnett's Collection. The card is deceptive and apparently shows that there wasn't a porch, but this is due to incorrect hand colouring - the white stonework to the left of the church is the porch, but looks as if it is another building in the background. My thanks to Howard Richter for noticing this. Link. Grade I listed.
St. Stephen Walbrook†. TQ 326 809. © Andrew Ross. Link1. Link2.

St. Vedast-alias-Foster† (open most days), is on Foster Lane near St. Paul's Cathedral. TQ 3220 8127. © Bill Henderson. Another view, © Aidan McRae Thomson.

Grade I listed, wherein it's dated to 1670-3, with the tower added in 1697. Severely damaged in WWII, the re-built interior is described as a "near facsimile".

Temple Church on Inner Temple Lane. On a cramped site, the church is difficult to photograph well. Another view. TQ 312 810. Both © Bill Henderson (2018). Link. Grade I listed.
