The church, named after the patron saint of wayfarers, escaped the Great Fire of 1666 unharmed but was rebuilt 1725-9. Having only lost one window during bombings in World War II, the church was devastated by the terrorist bombs in 1992-3 but has undergone extensive restoration work since.
The large churchyard with a busy central path with an entrance from Bishopsgate includes benches, a fountain, planted beds and two lawn areas.
