St Paul's Covent Garden
Nearby St Paul's Covent Garden

Affectionately known as 'The Actors' Church' because of its long association with London's theatre community, this beautiful church has stood in the heart of the West End since 1633. It's a particularly fine creation by the architect Inigo Jones, and also has an attractive landscaped garden.
In 1662 Samuel Pepys wrote in his diary that he had seen a Punch and Judy Show here, the first mention of this art form in history, and the event is commemorated with an annual puppet fair. The graveyard also holds the first recorded victim of the black death, buried here in 1665.
