St Peter, Paul's Wharf, was a parish church in the City of London. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. First mentioned in the 12th Century[1] It stood to the north of Upper Thames Street in Queenhithe Ward[2] The parish was defiant in continuing to use the Book of Common Prayer[3] during the Civil War.[4]

St Peter's was, along with most of the City's other parish churches, destroyed by the Great Fire in 1666. A Rebuilding Act was passed and a committee set up under Sir Christopher Wren to decide which would be rebuilt.[5] Fifty-one were chosen, but St Peter Paul’s Wharf[6] was not among them.[7] Following the fire the parish was united with that of St Benet Paul's Wharf.[8]
