Church of St Paul, Covent Garden
St Paul's Church is located in Bedford Street, Covent Garden. It was designed by Inigo Jones as part of a commission for the 4th Earl of Bedford in 1631.
Completed in 1633, St Paul's was the first entirely new church to be built in London since the Reformation. Its design and the layout of the square have been attributed to Inigo Jones since the 17th century, although firm documentary evidence is lacking.
