The Church has a very informative website.
A church has been on this site for over a millennium.
A beautiful and simple church.
Visited mid morning on a Saturday. I don't know if it's a weekly thing, but the church supports an important apostolate of support to homeless people including clothes, food and health etc.
A calm and beautiful church close to the heart of London Theatre Land.
This is the quietest place I have visited so far. Although, this is not located in the quietest streets of London, however, it somehow manages to surprise us. This is a beautifully built church with lots of space in its surroundings to have a peaceful time. When I visited this place there was not a single person inside and it felt so calm and peaceful to sit here.
Don't be fooled by the dark, gloomy exterior which resembles a boring medieval church which only prayers are allowed inside. They are more like a fun Halloween place since they also host one of the biggest Gay Pride events annually. Nothing conservative about this church as it's all fun, fun, fun! Just go in and have fun!!!
The only way to have a quiet moment of it's own in central london is to enter one of those little gems...an other legacy,daytime only! Refresh and have a think inside the church itself where you might find yourself lonely but somehow lucky or blessed...or wonder outside in the back garden slightly busier.
The site of St Giles-in-the-Fields Church has a history going back to medieval times, although the the present church only dates back to 18th century. Architecturally, the church is interesting for being the first English church to be built in the Palladian style. Even if the church isn't open, it's worth a detour for those with an interest in architecture.
As others have mentioned, St Giles was the last church on the route the gallows at Tyburn. An interesting bit of trivia is that the churchwardens paid for the condemned to have a drink at a nearby pub, popularly called "St Giles' Bowl".
Showerbox Saturday - providing food showers and hot drinks to anyone that needs
Beautiful Gothic church where Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley worshipped and had their children christened. John Wesley's pulpit is on display and as is an inscription for the poet and activist Marvel.
Lovely church service on a Sunday by our old Vicar Tom. Great to be able to sing again in church and listern to the organ. All finished off with tea and biscuits.
Attending church here has brought a sense of peace and spiritual growth into my life.
The dedicated clergy and passionate congregation make attending services a truly uplifting experience.
