Tim's Walks: Christopher Wren's London - a dozen (or so) great churches

Join Tim for a walk through the London of Christopher Wren, the greatest English architect.
After the Great Fire of 1666, the city of London was in ruins. The leading architect of the day, Christopher Wren, proposed a radical reimagining of London of great boulevards and monumental squares. It never happened. Instead he rebuilt the great churches of the City but was forced to follow the existing medieval street plan.
On our walk through the city we will visit some of his greatest and most characteristic churches. We will look at his inventiveness and skill as an architect but we’ll also look at what his churches tell us about the protestantism of the Church of England both then and now. We'll also look at why his churches were so important by contrasting them with older catholic architecture.

We meet in the foyer of Citizen M Hotel between 11.15 and 11.30 for a coffee to start walking at 11.30. The hotel is right next to Tower Hill station. We will end in a welcoming pub near Fleet Street.
Fee is £12, payable on the day by cash or card or through PayPal or bank transfer.
