Temple Church — one of the most historic and beautiful churches in London
Temple Church was built by the Knights Templar, the order of crusading monks founded to protect pilgrims on their way to and from Jerusalem. The Round Church was consecrated in 1185 by the patriarch of Jerusalem. It was designed to reflect the holiest place in the Crusaders' world: the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
It's a perfect spot to sing your own rendition of Blake and Parry’s ‘Jerusalem (was builded here)’, especially in the rich acoustics of the oldest part of the structure, the Round Church.
