The tower and north aisle of All-Hallows-the-Great were demolished in 1876 so that Upper Thames Street could be widened. A new tower was built on the south, but in 1894, the rest of the church was demolished, the furnishings dispersed and the parish combined with that of St. Michael Paternoster Royal.
The historic All-Hallows-the-Great complex underwent significant changes in the late 19th century as a result of urban development. The tower and north aisle were demolished in 1876 to make way for Upper Thames Street's expansion, leading to the construction of a new tower on the south side. By 1894, the entire church had been dismantled, its contents dispersed, and it was merged with the parish of St. Michael Paternoster Royal.
