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 want to build a better future for generations to come and a gift in your will adds your name to the history of St James’s, at the heart of the community since 1684.
It’s not always easy to contemplate our own death, although the church is always willing to help any of us do that, whatever our faith background, and regardless of our plans for our will.
But if you did want to leave a legacy, we can help with that too. It helps us plan for the future and ensures that we can keep our doors open every day to all for generations to come.
We want to be a place that brings comfort to all who need it, and be a community that encourages creativity and a sense of adventure in the spirit. Practical help for people who need it will always be part of our work, and we want to stay here for them.
Leaving a legacy to St James’s is an effective and simple way to give, should you choose to do so. You may already have a will and if so, you will need to make a small amendment.
Every gift, large or small, is hugely valued and appreciated and we thank you for considering becoming part of our future in this way.
If you would like to discuss a legacy gift, please contact Brian Willetts – Director of Development, development@sjp.org.uk or call 020 7734 4511
