The Church of St Benet Paul 's Wharf is a Welsh Anglican church in the City of London . Since 1556 , it has also been the official church of the College of Arms in which many officers of arms have been buried . In 1666 it was destroyed in the Great Fire of London , after which it was rebuilt and merged with nearby St Peter 's . The current church was designed by Sir Christopher Wren . It is one of only four churches in the City of London to escape damage during World War II .
Queen Victoria Street , named after the British monarch who reigned from 1837 to 1901 , is a street in London which runs east by north from its junction with New Bridge Street and Victoria Embankment in the Castle Baynard ward of the City of London , along a section that divides the wards of Queenhithe and Bread Street , then lastly through the middle of Cordwainer ward , until it reaches Mansion House Street at Bank junction . Beyond Bank junction , the street continues north-east as Threadneedle Street which joins Bishopsgate . Other streets linked to Queen Victoria Street include Puddle Dock , Cannon Street , Walbrook and Poultry . The road was commissioned in 1861 to streamline the approach to the central business district , and was provided for through the Metropolitan Improvement Act . Costing over £1,000,000 , it remains a flagship street within the City . The nearest London Underground stations are Blackfriars ( at its western junction with New Bridge Street ) , Mansion House ( where it crosses Cannon Street ) , and Bank ( near its eastern end ) . Queen Victoria Street formed part of the marathon course of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games .
Queenhithe is a small and ancient ward of the City of London , situated by the River Thames and to the south of St. Paul 's Cathedral . The Millennium Bridge crosses into the City at Queenhithe . Queenhithe is also the name of the ancient , but now disused , dock and a minor street , which runs along that dock , both of which are within the ward . The ward is served by London Buses route 4 , which runs along Queen Victoria Street and stops by the Millennium footbridge , and the nearest London Underground station is Mansion House , on Queen Victoria Street .
The City of London is a city , county and a local government district [ note 1 ] that contains the historic centre and the primary central business district ( CBD ) of London . It constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages , but the agglomeration has since grown far beyond the City 's borders . The City is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London , though it remains a notable part of central London . Administratively , it forms one of the 33 local authority districts of Greater London ; however , the City of London is not a London borough , a status reserved for the other 32 districts ( including London 's only other city , the City of Westminster ) . It is also a separate ceremonial county , being an enclave surrounded by Greater London , and is the smallest county in the United Kingdom . The City of London is widely referred to simply as the City ( differentiated from the phrase the city of London by capitalising City ) and is also colloquially known as the Square Mile , as it is 1.12 sq mi ( 716.80 acres ; 2.90 km2 ) in area . Both of these terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom 's trading and financial services industries , which continue a notable history of being largely based in the City . The name London is now ordinarily used for a far wider area than just the City . London most often denotes the sprawling London metropolis , or the 32 London boroughs , in addition to the City of London itself . This wider usage of London is documented as far back as 1888 , when the County of London was created . The local authority for the City , namely the City of London Corporation , is unique in the UK and has some unusual responsibilities for a local council , such as being the police authority . It is also unusual in having responsibilities and ownerships beyond its boundaries .
St Clement Eastcheap is a Church of England parish church in Candlewick Ward of the City of London . It is located on Clement 's Lane , off King William Street and close to London Bridge and the River Thames . Clement was a disciple of St Peter the Apostle and was ordained as Bishop of Rome in the year 93 AD . By legend , Clement was martyred by being tied to an anchor and thrown into the Black Sea , which led to his adoption as a patron saint of sailors . The dedication to St Clement is unusual in London , with only one other ancient church there dedicated to this saint , namely St Clement Danes , Westminster . It is also located a little north of the Thames , but further west from Eastcheap and outside the old City boundary , just beyond the Temple Bar on the Strand .

St Edmund , King and Martyr , is an Anglican church in Lombard Street , in the City of London , dedicated to St Edmund the Martyr . Once a parish church , it no longer is used for regular worship .

The church lies in the ward of Langbourn , and has a ward noticeboard outside .

The Christopher Wren-designed church St James Garlickhythe is within Vintry ward , near Mansion House tube station . In medieval times , French wine and garlic were landed at the nearby Garlickhythe ( 'garlic dock ' ) . This circumstance led to the church being part of the route for English pilgrims travelling to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain , which is sacred to the memory of St James the Great .
