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 cultural 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.

An opportunity to enjoy food and fellowship while discussing the impact of climate change with Bishop Manuel Ernesto, Bishop of Nampula.
Details
Please bring: something to sit on (some benches are provided in the garden!) any picnic food you would like to eat or share (no food will provided- everyone brings a little to minimise food waste!) an umbrella/waterproof just in case we are blessed with English Summer weather madness.
Bishop Manuel Ernesto, Bishop of Nampula in Northern Mozambique has been an outspoken prophet about the Climate Emergency.
During his short visit to London Diocese, who partner with the Diocese of Angola and Mozambique, we are delighted to have the rare opportunity to hear him in person.
He will be in conversation with the Revd Lucy Winkett, Rector of St James’s Church Piccadilly, who have kindly agreed to host us in their Eco Church Gold winning garden.
This is an informal event: we aim to have time to share food together and then listen together. We hope it’ll be a time of encouragement and challenge as we hear once again the deep call to the Church for climate justice.
All are welcome!
There is a Redemption Roasters coffee shop within the grounds of St James Church if you wish to purchase drinks or snacks.
This event is hosted and arranged in partnership with ALMA (Angola London and Mozambique Association) who are hosting Bishop Manuel during his visit, and with the Earth Justice team at St James Piccadilly.
