NOTE: St Paul's Cathedral was designed in Baroque style by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1711. St Vedast's, also designed by Wren but in Classical Revival style, was completed in 1699. It was restored following war damage during the London Blitz of 1940 and 1941 by Stephen Dykes Bower between 1953 and 1964.
