Worship
Our main weekly service is a Sung Eucharist at 10.30am on Sundays, followed by tea and coffee in the parish hall. All are welcome! On each Wednesday, we also have morning prayer at 9am and a mid-week service at 6.30pm, the nature of which is different each week.
​
We are also home to a number of communities based here in the Parish and are pleased to host a Ukrainian Orthodox service each Sunday at 8am and a Korean service each Sunday at 2pm.
Music
As well as being home to a busy concert series, St George’s hosts a variety of liturgical services in which music plays a key role in supporting and enhancing the worship. We have a successful Choral Young Artist scheme for students or recent graduates aiming to develop their choral and solo singing. The Young Artists perform music in a wide variety of styles, from Renaissance motets to contemporary commissions. The scheme is for a one-year period with the possibility of extension by mutual agreement.
Our History
With its genesis in the political and social upheavals of the early 18th century, St. George’s represents much more than just a fine church by one of Britain’s most brilliant architects. Unique treatments of architecture and space were employed to fit a church with a traditional eastern alter onto a site surrounded by domestic dwellings and, with much more space north-south, never large enough for the church. For the design of the exterior, Hawksmoor borrowed from classical sources to create one of the most grandiose facades in London.
Visit
We are delighted to welcome visitors to St George's from all around the world.

If you are making a special journey to visit please confirm before coming as we are dependant on volunteers to keep the church open and cannot guarantee access. Email us, or call +44 (0)20 7242 1979.
Room Hire
St George's is a fantastic location to hire for events and meetings. The church itself has an extraordinary acoustic and is frequently host to choral and chamber concerts. Our Vestry Hall is also an excellent location for activities, meetings and events. Whether you need a small meeting room for two, a training room for twenty, or a large performance space for audience of more than a hundred, St George's can cater for your needs.
