The Paternoster Square might be one of the most beautiful squares in London. It has beautiful, architectural structure. The buildings and sculptures on it are a perfect mix of historical and modern. It’s sleek and breathtaking. The pattern that the cobblestone forms only enhances its geometrical perfection.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Lucky enough to visit as part of Open House Weekend. This is a Grade 1 listed building with stunning view of St Paul's. Due to the small size of the room only 20 visitors at a time permitted but the presentation before visiting the Temple was well worth the wait.Visited onWeekendWait time30–60 min
A very interesting historic landmark that you can see next to St. Paul's Cathedral is the old Temple Bar built by Sir Christopher Wren, which was reassembled and relocated to the entrance at Paternoster Square next to St. Paul's in 2004. Wren's Temple Bar is the only surviving gateway to The City, of which there were originally eight. King Charles II commissioned the structure shortly after the Great Fire of 1666. Wren then build the beautiful, marble arched passageway between 1669-1672. Wren's Temple Bar stood at the junction of Fleet Street and the Strand for over two centuries, prior to being dismantled and removed in 1872, in order to widen the street. It then ended up at Sir Henry Meux's Hertforshire estate Tehobalds Park before finally returning to the City just a decade ago. While not standing in its original location, it is very nice seeing Wren's old Temple Bar next to St. Paul's Cathedral. You can walk through the main arch as well as the two smaller pedestrian arches and see the detail of the structure on both sides. In the alcoves above the arches are the four statues of King Charles I, Charles II, James I and Anne of Denmark, which were sculpted by John Bushnell. The figures are a striking contribution to Wren's Temple Bar. However, I'm not sure if they are the originals or not. In the end, Wren's Temple Bar is a lovely historic landmark back in London, where it should be. It is well worth having a quick look if you intend to visit St. Paul's Cathedral during your trip to London and is literally just a stone's throw away from the cathedral so can be conveniently visited along with this popular city attraction. Note: For those who are interested, the Neo-Renaissance style Temple Bar that was built in 1880 to replace Wren's Temple Bar remains standing at the junction of Fleet Street and the Strand. This is a nice monument to see as well when visiting attractions along the Strand.
This landmark of London is the old ceremonial entrance into of western London. Strictly speaking, Temple Bar refers to a notional barrier, but is commonly used to refer to the Christopher Wren designed, 17th-century ornamental Baroque arched gateway.
The last surviving historic and ceremonial “gate” entrance to the City of London originally located beside where the Royal Courts of Justice were constructed in the 1880’s and repositioned here in 2004. Serving now as the “gateway” between St.Pauls and Paternoster Square. “Temple Bar” might inadvertently and understandably suggests the location of licensed premises. The dull Paternoster Square does little to mollify or dispel the disappointment.
Interesting historical monument, located next to St Pauls Cathedral
Interesting and impressive monument as many know relocated to its present position. I would like to go into the part above the gate way
Beautiful open square. Wonderful stone benches. Amazing view.
Amazing visit! Samy was brilliant! Very welcoming
This has a long and detailed history behind it. Sir Christopher Wren originally built it. Was dismantled in the Victorian era and disappeared off to Hertfordshire. Fortunately has been re-constructed with great care and attention to details and you can easily see why this has a Grade II listing, a work of art. Nothing can describe how this arch constructed of Portland Stone looks in the sunlight with St Paul's Cathedral as the backdrop. Stunning!!
