Welcome to the historic and beautiful Temple Church, built by the Knights Templarand London's Jerusalem since the 12th century, birthplace of Magna Carta and home to some of the finest church music in Britain.
City of London, Greater London
The Temple Church is one of the most historic and beautiful churches in London. Here are 800 years of history: from the Crusaders in the 12th century, through the turmoil of the Reformation and the founding father of Anglican theology, to some of the most famous church music in London every week.
The church was built by the Knights Templar, the order of crusading monks founded to protect pilgrims on their way to and from Jerusalem in the 12th century. The church is in two parts: the Round and the Chancel. The Round Church was consecrated in 1185 by the patriarch of Jerusalem. It was designed to recall the holiest place in the Crusaders’ world: the circular Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
The Temple Church lies ‘off street’ between Fleet Street and the River Thames, in an oasis of ancient buildings, courtyards and gardens. The church is generally open Mon-Fri but we are also a popular venue for concrets and other events. If you are planning a visit, please check the church's opening times and schedule on our website.
We look forward to welcoming you here soon.
