In previous postings, I have summarised and listed cathedrals, churches and chapels I have visited in Limerick, Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Oxford, and other places, with hyper-links to my blog postings about each church I have visited in those places.
In a similar way, I have provided guides to the synagogues I have visited across the world.
Since my teens, I have also visited countless churches, chapels and cathedrals in London, as well as synagogues and mosques, and I have been blogging about them since about 2007. I last provided a posting with links to the blogs about each building I have visited and written about on 27 March 2025.
In the 2½ years since then, the number of churches, synagogues and other places I have blogged about has continued to grow. This posting is an effort to update that list of blog pastings and to provide an accessible index to those blog postings, with about 140 churches and church sites, and more than 30 synagogues, as well as and three mosques.
I hope to continue to update this posting intermittently, with links to each new posting.
