Welcome to St James Garlickhythe
We are a church in the heart of the City of London - disciples of Jesus Christ, dedicated to serving all people.
St James Garlickhythe is an Anglican Parish Church serving a busy parish on the bank of the Thames in the City of London.
We are renowned for services that adhere to the traditional beauty of Book of Common Prayer, and which are accompanied by fine music. The church, known as Wren’s Lantern due to the original profusion of windows, shines today as a spiritual beacon in the heart of the City. It is remarkably unspoiled having only suffered very minor damage during the Blitz. It stands today as one of Christopher Wren’s loveliest churches.
Whether you work nearby or are visiting us in person or online, you are most welcome. Pause for a while and soak up the beauty of this historic building; a holy place of prayer, refreshment, and peace.
You will be assured of a very warm reception.
