We welcome visitors to our church - if you are visiting London, why not make us part of your trip? We will be delighted to show you our beautiful building and tell you about our history.
Tour Groups
Self-guided tours of over five people must be booked in advance. This is as much for your sake as ours, so you don't turn up and discover an event or tour is already taking place! We are working church which many people visit for prayer or a quiet space, so please be respectful when you visit the church.
Our team of volunteer guides are available most weekdays from 10.30am-1.30pm and 2-4pm. They are able to answer your questions and would be happy to take you on a short tour of the church, leading you on a fascinating journey from our Saxon origins right up to the present day. Tours leave on demand, and we suggest you arrive before 3.30pm to allow enough time to look around. If you would like to book a guide for a private tour, please contact the church office.
