St George's Bloomsbury home

One of the capital’s most wonderful buildings The Guardian

Welcome to St George’s Church Bloomsbury The Church of England parish church of Bloomsbury A church for all people St George's Bloomsbury is the sixth and final London church designed by the leading architect of the

English Baroque, Nicholas Hawksmoor. Originally consecrated in 1731, St George's was reopened to the

public in 2006 following a five-year restoration initiated and managed by the World Monuments Fund

Britain and made possible by the generosity of the Paul Mellon Estate and the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Today, St George's is a thriving parish church, concert venue and centre for community arts and

education located at the heart of Bloomsbury, two minutes walk from the British Museum. Both the

church and our multimedia exhibition Hawksmoor & Bloomsbury are open on a regular basis to visitors.
