All Hallows Staining is a medieval parish church fragment in the City of London, historically notable as one of the relatively few stone-built churches within a largely timber medieval city — the name "Staining" derives from an old term for stone. Much of the original building was removed in the 19th century, but the surviving medieval tower and masonry survive as valued examples of historic fabric and architectural detail. The site lies close to the Roman London Wall and the City’s commercial core, reflecting layers of urban development and religious continuity. Principal points of interest are the tower, remaining stonework and the churchyard context together with nearby historic streets. Public access is limited and variable; admission arrangements, visiting hours and accessibility provisions differ over time.
