For 2,000 years, the site of St Bride's Fleet Street has been a place of worship – and for 500 years it has been the 'spiritual home' of church goers from the print and media industries.

There have been many church buildings on this site over the years. In 1940, St Bride's lost it's roof to bombing. Following a series of important excavations took place in 1953, led by the medieval archaeologist Professor W. F. Grimes, uncovering the foundations of all six previous churches on the site.

The spire of St Bride's church is rumoured to be the inspiration behind the traditional tiered wedding cake.
