St James’s hosts inclusive services and a cultural programme. We seek to be a welcoming space for people to reflect, create and debate.
St James’s is a place to explore, reflect, pray, and support all who are in need. We are a Church of England parish in the Anglican Communion. This is a place for everyone who’s wondering about life’s big questions and striving for a better world.
We host a year-round creative programme encompassing music, visual art and spoken word, drawing on St James’s rich cultural history including artists, writers and musicians Mary Beale, Mary Delany, William Blake, Ottobah Cugoano and Leopold Stokowski.
We try to put our faith into action by educating ourselves and speaking out on issues of injustice, especially concerning refugees, asylum, earth and racial justice, and LGBTQ+ issues.
We aspire to be a home where everyone can belong. We’re known locally and globally for our unique history and beauty, as well as faith in action, creativity and the arts, and a commitment to social and environmental justice.
We strive to be a Eucharist-centred, diverse and inclusive Christian community promoting life in abundance, wellbeing and dignity for all.
St James’s Piccadilly has been at the heart of its community since 1684. We invite you to play your part in securing this historic place for generations to come.
It costs us £3,500 per day to enable us to keep our doors open to all who need us
Your donation will help us restore our garden in Piccadilly as part of The Wren Project, making it possible for us to welcome over 300,000 people from all faiths and walks of life seeking tranquillity and inspiration each year.

We are an inclusive church and want as many as wish to become fully involved in the way we work. There are so many opportunities to meet new friends, learn more about your local community, widen your horizons and have great discussions about our faith or anything else of importance. You can volunteer in a variety of different ways. You may wish to become part of our governing structure.
Keith Best, PCC Secretary, is a great point of contact to have an informal discussion about how you can get involved.

How do we run elections?
The following applies in the case of every election which takes place at the Annual Meeting: (1) A candidate must be nominated, either before the meeting in writing or at the meeting, by two persons each of whom – (a) must be entitled to attend the meeting, and (b) must have his or her name on the roll of a parish. (2) If the number of candidates does not exceed the number of seats to be filled, each candidate is declared elected. (3) If the number of candidates exceeds the number of seats to be filled, an election must take place in accordance with the following provisions. (4) Every lay person whose name is on the roll of the parish is entitled to vote in the election. (5) Each person entitled to vote has as many votes as there are seats to be filled but may not give more than one vote to the same candidate. (6) Votes may be given by a show of hands; but if one or more persons object to that, each vote is to be given on a voting paper signed on the back by the voter. (7) If there is an equality of votes, the election is decided by the drawing of a lot by the presiding officer. (8) On a recount of an election or a stage of an election, either on an appeal or at the request of the presiding officer or a candidate, if the original count and the recount are identical at the point when a lot must be drawn, the original lot must be used to decide. (9) The presiding officer for an election at the annual meeting is the chair of the meeting.
