Why it's Wildland
3.4A Catholic church in the heart of the City, offering a quiet pause amid the busy streets. The parish describes it as the only Catholic church in the Square Mile.
St Mary Moorfields is not a wild landscape; its appeal is the contrast between the bustle of the City and a church the parish describes as a place for peace and quiet. It is a modest, contemplative stop for visitors interested in sacred places and the lived character of London.
