London's Temple Church and the Knights Templar
London's Temple Church was consecrated in the year 1185. It was once the home of the Knights Templar in England. The warrior Knight's mission was to protect pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land. In the process, they created the first international banking system which made them rich and powerful. They also created enemies who conspired to destroy them. The Templar's property was seized and eventually became the center of the legal profession in England. The church, sometimes called The Lawyer's Church was featured in Dan Brown's best seller and blockbuster movie The DiVinci Code.

Temple Church London - Places to Visit in London - London UK
Some of the churches in London city attract tourists and visitors to them for the history they carry behind and for the stories they might be able to tell. Temple Church in London is one of these old churches in town which attracts lots of visitors to it for standing there for a long period of time.
The Temple Church in London dates back to the late 12th century and it is located between Fleet Street and River Thames. This church was built in these old days by the Templar Knights to be considered their English headquarters. The church is owned by the Inner Temple and the Middle Temple Inns of Court. The Temple Church might be famous for its history and lots of different other things, but one of the things that made it that popular since it was built is the round shape which is the common feature for the Knights Templar churches, as well as for its 13th and 14th centuries effigies.
Unfortunately, the first appearance for the church is not the same one which people experience visiting and witness today because this church was damaged by German bombing during the World War II and thus it has been then restored and rebuilt one more time.
The area that is surrounding the Temple Church is known as the Temple for the existence of the church, and nearby in the middle of Fleet Street stood the Temple Bar, an ornamental processional gateway. There is also the Temple underground station that is very close to this area and also the reason behind giving it that name.
At the beginning of the journey, the church was used for Templar initiation ceremonies. Today, Temple Church holds regular church services that include Holy Communion and Mattins on Sunday morning, it also holds some weddings but only for the members of the Inner and Middle Temples, since it serves both temples as a private chapel.
In addition to the different celebrations and occasions that might be held in the church - even if for specific people only and with some rules - the church also offers regular choral music performances and organ recitals. One of the famous examples to mention here is the Temple Choir in 1927 under George Thalben-Ball, which became world famous with its recording of Mendelssohn's Hear my Prayer, including the solo O for the Wings of the Dove sung by Ernest Lough. This became one of the most famous recordings by a church choir and it even sold a lot through the twentieth century.
Even though this temple serves the two Inns' members and staff, and all those who work in the oasis of calm known as The Temple, it is also important to mention that visitors are always welcomed into the church for whatever reason - except for holding a wedding - it could be for discovering this old church and the area surrounding it, it could be for finding some peace and quiet and of course visitors from all over the world are welcomed into this church if they need to pray.
London is one of the top cities that is visited by tourists from all around the world and this goes back to the history it carries behind and which formed what it has reached today, and at the same time it goes back to the buildings, museums and all the other attractions that call out for the people to come and check them.
There are lots of things to be seen in the city of London - your trip will be stuffed - but since we are talking about history and the buildings that are still standing until this day, we should then shed the lights on some important destinations, such as the Royal Albert Hall ( Hay's Galleria ( Westminster Abbey ( St. Paul's Cathedral ( Houses of Parliament ( Royal Court of Justice ( and of course Big Ben which we are not even supposed to mention for the already-existing attention it is always taking (
There are actually lots of places and buildings to visit and check in London city that would take you back through the years and not just bring a good history behind, but will inform you with some stories which you might have never heard anything about and which at the same time always end to be interesting ones.
We have toured London and went to different attractions and places which we loved and would differently recommend for you, but to make it easier at this point especially for those who want something quick for their short vacation, you could check the top 10 things to do in London and go back home satisfied with what you have seen (
Enjoy knowing more about the Temple Church and put it in your plan for the next visit to London city.

It is jointly owned by the Inner Temple and Middle Temple Inns of Court, bases of the English legal profession. It is famous for being a round church, a common design feature for Knights Templar churches, and for its 13th and 14th century stone effigies.

Temple Church, the original HQ of the Knights Templar in London
A quick tour around Temple Church, the headquarters in London of the Knights Templar, a powerful medieval Order. When the Templars arrived, this area was open watermeadow all the way down to the Thames. The Templars started building, and on the same land today we have the The Royal Courts of Justice (which is like the ancestral home of law), Fleet Street (which is like the spiritual home of the newspaper industry), and of course the banks (where the international financial system began). The Templars invented modern banking, among other things.

These two areas are some of the main 'legal' districts of the City of London, where lawyers have their chambers (offices)

The London England Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
The London Temple is located on the A22 Eastbourne Road /West Park Road, Newchapel, Surrey RH7 6NB.
The London Temple Visitors' Centre staffed by the England London Mission is now closed BUT there is one at the Hyde Park LDS Chapel
Exhibition Road 64-68 Princes Gate, London SW7 2PA.

Surrounding the temple are 10 acres of formal grounds featuring Eden Brook on the southern border of the property and numerous stately oak trees. A picturesque pond sits to the southwest creating inspiring reflections of the temple both day and night.
Brief History: -
In 1952, President David O. McKay (9th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) authorised church officials to search for property to purchase for two temple sites in Europe…one in Switzerland and the other in England. In June 1953, a property owned by the Pears family (owners of the Pears Soap Manufacturers) was purchased by the church. President McKay and Edward Anderson (the temple architect), came to England and walked the grounds to determine the location of the temple.
The area President McKay finally selected was partially covered by a lily pond. Because of the high water table and soft nature of the ground it appeared completely unsuitable to support the grand structure they had in mind. After President McKay insisted that the spot he had indicated was the right spot further investigation was authorised. Engineers then, to their surprise, discovered that beneath the boggy pond was a natural shale platform at the proper depth to support the temple. The project engineer said “You could build the city of London on the site!”
Ground was broken on the 27th August 1955 and the temple was completed and dedicated on the 7th – 9th September 1958 by President McKay.
The London Temple is built of Portland Limestone.
In 1992, the temple was re-furbished and re-dedicated by the then First Counsellor of the First Presidency of the Church, President Gordon B. Hinckley.
The angel Moroni standing atop the spire was added in 2008.
The site where the London Temple stands, was known as Newchapel Farm and was listed in the Domesday Book of William the Conquerer.

In this London Guide Joolz Guides visits The Temple Church.
Situated just off Fleet Street in an area called Temple Inn is on of London's most beautiful treasures. The Temple Church was built over 800 years ago for the famous order of the Knights Templar.
You might recognize the Temple Church from the film The Da Vinci Code where Tom Hanks comes with Audrey Tautou but in real life it has great significance regarding the signing of the Magna Carta.
Buried in the church are numerous Knights Templar, one of whom was William Marshal, the greatest Knight of his age. The Knights Templar were very rich and powerful people and it was he who ultimately saw to it that the Magna Carta got signed. You can see an efigy of him on the floor alongside other Knights Templar in the Temple Church.
