St. Helen's Church, Spitalfields, London Location map
 
  View of the double nave, St. Helen's Church, Bishopsgate, London, England   St. Helen's Church, Spitalfields.

This interior view shows the two parallel naves.

It is possible to reach St. Helen's Church from Bishopsgate via Great St. Helen's or from the Gherkin via Undershaft. We had to ring the doorbell on the church office and ask to be admitted and you may need to do the same.
