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.

4th Sunday of every month at 9.45am in the Southwood garden and on Zoom
Eco-contemplative services are held on the 4th Sunday of the month at 9.45am in the Southwood Garden in the southwest corner of the church site, and on Zoom.
To participate online, please email ecochurch@sjp.org.uk for the Zoom link and liturgy materials. If possible, you are invited to go outside for the contemplative time during the liturgy, or be near a window, houseplant or other link to the natural world.
The Southwood Garden presents accessibility challenges as there are 13 steps to enter the garden. Once in the garden, accessible paths and bench seating are available. We want to ensure that all members of our community can fully participate in our services. If you require accessible arrangements or have concerns about accessing the garden space, please contact ecochurch@sjp.org.uk 24 hours in advance so that we can help to include you. The service will be moved to the Ecozoic garden space on Jermyn Street, which has step-free access, on the day as required.
Contact ecochurch@sjp.org.uk for details.
