Temple Church is now firmly on the London tourist map thanks to Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. A remarkable building, it is more than 900 years old and has survived the crushing of the Templars by the Roman catholic church, the reformation, the great fire of London and world-war two bombs. The only remaining Romanesque building in London, it is famous for its effigies of Templar knights.
