The London England Temple

of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

The London Temple was the second temple in Europe and the last of the revolutionary smaller temples, along with the Bern and Hamilton Temples. The spire of the London Temple echoes the steeples of traditional European Protestant churches, and the temple itself is an effort to combine modern with timeless. The grounds of the London Temple are extensive, and include an Elizabethan era (1500s) farmhouse.

Ground was broken on 10 August 1953, but construction did not begin until August 1955.

There are 7 Sealing rooms and 4 Ordinance rooms in the temple.

The spire is 190 feet tall.
The London Temple serves stakes in southeast England and Wales.
