From the Wikipedia article
St Clement Eastcheap is a Church of England parish church in Candlewick Ward of the City of London. It is located on Clement's Lane, off King William Street and close to London Bridge and the River Thames. Clement was a disciple of St Peter the Apostle and was ordained as Bishop of Rome in the year 93 AD. By legend, Clement was martyred by being tied to an anchor and thrown into the Black Sea, which led to his adoption as a patron saint of sailors. The dedication to St Clement is unusual in London, with only one other ancient church there dedicated to this saint, namely St Clement Danes, Westminster. Danes is also located a little north of the Thames, but it is further west from Eastcheap and outside the old City boundary, just beyond the Temple Bar on the Strand. Both churches claim to be the "Clements" referred to in the children's nursery rhyme "Oranges and Lemons".
