Temple Church

Located between Fleet Street and the river, the church was built in the 12th century as the headquarters of the British Knights Templar. It has the original circular church (a common design of the Temple) and rectangular additions built decades later. Its amazing acoustics and excellent organ are the main reasons I come to visit regularly, but the Magna Carta exhibition is a special treat!

The Temple Church is beautifully built with weird walls, portraits of knights, circular Norman temples, spiral Gothic arches, marble pillars and vaulted ceilings. It happens to pass on Fleet Street.

The origin of this ancient church and temple knight has become popular because it is contained in Leonardo Da Vinci's novels. It costs five pounds to get in now, but you can see all the historical tombstones of the Templar Knights, and now you can go upstairs, see the circular church hall of the church, and take pictures.

I stayed at a nearby hotel and suddenly realized that the Temple Church was nearby. Every time I came to London for years, it was closed - this time it was open! A friendly lady at the ticket office received me and she gave me advice on where to go for a tour. I immediately realized there were fewer than 10 tourists there, so I had time to look around.

The interior of the Temple Church is exquisite. It is the filming site of the film The Da Vinci Code and the headquarters of the 12th century Knights of the Temple in England. The dome is built in imitation of the memorial hall of the Holy Tomb in Jerusalem.

The Temple Church, located on Fleet Street on the Thames River, was founded in 1855 as the headquarters of the Knights Templar in England at that time, but it was badly damaged during World War II and most of the buildings were later rebuilt. The biggest attraction here is the marble statues of nine Templar Knights lying on the ground, crossed arms indicating that he has been to the Holy Land of Jerusalem. People who like The Da Vinci Code will love it.
