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. However, until now, I have provided no one posting with links to the blogs about each building I have visited and written about.
This posting is an effort to remedy this and provide an accessible index to those blog postings. There are over 90 churches and church sites, as well as 23 synagogues and three mosques.
I hope to continue to update this posting with links to each new posting from now on.
