St Andrew Holborn
Holborn Circus, London EC4

The medieval church of St Andrew Holborn survived the Great Fire of 1666 but in 1686 Sir Christopher Wren was commissioned to redesign the building. 

The lower part of the tower is virtually all that remains from the original church.  Wren created one of his most spacious churches at St Andrew Holborn. 

In 1817, Benjamin Disraeli, the Jewish-born Prime Minister, was baptised here.  Later in the 19th century a charity school was attached to the church. 

During World War II St Andrew Holborn was gutted but following 1945 it was carefully restored as the church of the London trade guilds.
