Present Religious Topography



The City of London's present Religious topography consists of 43 Christian Churches, one Mosque and one Synagogue.

All Churches have reported reduced congregations consistently over the past three decades. As result, many have resorted to a combination of private enterprise, or special cases of 'religious specialisation', whereby a specific denomination or demographic is catered to.

The total area of these buildings equates to over 33,000 sq. meters, with an estimated land value of approximately £392million.

Due to the declining numbers, a commissioned report by the Church of England has concluded to reduce the number of churches in the City of London to only twelve, leaving twenty seven redundant.
