Neither are St Martin's nor Old Bailey.
St Martin Orgar church was near Cannon Street and destroyed in the Great
Fire of London. Martin Lane still exists today. (You might be thinking
of St Martin-in-the-Fields, near Trafalgar Square.)
Old Bailey. That's most *definitely* in the City. The street runs
between Ludgate Hill and Newgate Street. The bells of Old Bailey were
moved to St Sepulchre-without-Newgate church in 1739.
