Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Janice B21 contributionsDriver and car excellent. The set up at airport to get to car is a bit chaotic. On booking I believed I’d be met after security by driver holding a card with my name. Instead had to make my way to a spot sent to me by photo to let them know I was there and then a further 10 min wait to be told driver waiting outside. Had to then make own way outside and try to find the car among the many waiting there. Other than that, the journey was smooth and comfortableWritten 24 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CandoriteCandor, NY32 contributionsThis is such a beautiful building full of art and history. Unfortunately the tower was indefinitely inaccessible when we were there, but the visit was absolutely worth making the time for. The Byzantines-style frescoes were radiant, and the chapels we so amazing. Especially memorable were the English (St Gregory and St Augustine Chapel) and Scottish (St. Andrew) chapels, which alone could comprise a tour of their art and history, and the chapel of the English (Catholic) Martyrs (St. George's Chapel).
St. Paul's Bookstore is right next to the Cathedral.Written 22 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were impressed by the architecture of this building and the peaceful and spiritual energy inside. We were greeted kindly and told how, when and from what the Temple was built and many other interesting things. We had a nice time. When we left the Temple, we were greeted by devotee Nitesh. He kindly talked to us and from him we learned even more interesting things about this temple, the Hindu religion and the saints. It was very interesting.Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- sanju_222323New Jersey17,974 contributionsSouthwark Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral Church of St. Saviour and St. Mary Overie, has a fascinating history that dates back over a thousand years.
Its origins can be traced to a monastery founded in AD 606 by Mellitus, the first Bishop of London. The original structure was a wooden building and was later rebuilt in stone around the 9th century. Over the centuries, the cathedral has undergone various renovations and additions, resulting in the magnificent structure we see today.
The location of Southwark Cathedral is of great historical significance. It stands on the south bank of the River Thames, near the site of the ancient Roman bridge that connected the City of London with the southern part of the country
Inside the cathedral, children can discover a rich collection of paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts that span different periods and styles.
The Cathedral has a lovely garden which is a haven at all times of year but especially in the summer. A quiet space to sit a while. Whilst the lovely cafe serving delicious coffee and cakes is a nice way to escape the crowds of London bridgeWritten 3 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is the best-preserved Norman church in London, just as the Tower is the best secular building.
Many churches were originally built in the Romanesque style brought to England from Normandy by the Conqueror, Westminster Abbey for example. But time, fires and fashion led to remodels in styles more contemporary to the times of their renovators. What we see now at St. Bartholomew is the choir (“quire”) of the original building. (When I visited, the pews were facing each other instead of forward, in keeping with the architectural purpose of the space.) What had been the nave is now an outdoor walkway through a half-timber gate leading up to today’s entry.
For most visitors, however, the fun part is that the church has been used as a location in over two dozen films. Four Weddings and a Funeral anyone? This is church where Hugh Grant dumps Duckface. I didn’t know this before my visit, but the square at Smithfield in front of the church used to be a place of execution. For film buffs, think Braveheart and Mel Gibsons’s last gasp, “Freedom!”Written 9 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FIL MLondon, UK725 contributionsI popped in with a view to see a particular tapestry that is presently on display.
The church is pretty and bathed in light. It is wonderful for a few moments of tranquility and quiet contemplation regardless of faith.Written 8 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A bit tricky to enter, because you have to go through the gate round the church building, but the result is rewarding. It is an interesting church on its own, but also this church is dedicated to deceased artists. Plaques with well known names can be observed. A good four point rating and to be recommended for a visit.Written 8 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zapryan DLondon, UK1,207 contributionsSt Bride's is perhaps one of the most ancient churches in London, its foundations going as far back as the 7th century. There have been at least several different buildings on the site, including an Anglo-Saxon and a Norman church. The church was destroyed in the disastrous Great Fire of London in 1666 and it was rebuilt to a new design by Christopher Wren. It has has one of the tallest spires of all of Wren's churches with only St Paul's exceeding its height. Unfortunately, St Bride's was nearly completely destroyed in 1941 during the Blitz, but it was rebuilt after the war. One fortunate consequence of the bombing was the excavation of the Church's Anglo-Saxon foundations, which now house the Museum of Fleet Street that includes among its displays Roman and medieval artefacts, as well as lead coffins from the early modern period. During its long history the church has had a number of famous parishioners, including the poets John Milton, John Dryden and the diarist Samuel Pepys.Written 30 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I went on the free guided tour of the chapel with former Middlesex surgeon James Thomson. A charming and knowledgeable guide with a very personal attachment to the chapel and to the hospital to which it once belonged. I highly recommend a visit.Written 18 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- therichastillStevenage, UK3,696 contributionsLocated between Bank and Cannon Street stations it is easy to miss St Stephen's church. It is close to the Starbucks and if it was not for the fact it is an old building you would miss it.
If you like old churches then you should probably hunt down this hidden gem.Written 6 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
