We welcome you to St George’s. We are a parish church of
the Church of England, mother church of the Anglican and
Episcopal family of Churches.

Bloomsbury is at the heart of tourist London, yet it is easy to
miss St George’s, surrounded as it is by other buildings. In
recent years, the church has undergone a huge transformation.
The interior has been restored to something like Hawksmoor’s
original scheme.To many it is a surprise; a fine Baroque
interior; English, yet not quite English. It has a remarkable
atmosphere which, we hope, leads easily to prayer.

Over the years, many visitors have joined us in worship on
Sundays and during the week. We welcome everyone. At the
heart of our life together is the Eucharist celebrated on Sundays at 10.30. Our tradition is high church, loyally Anglican yet embracing a wider catholicity.

The service is traditional but not stuffy. We enjoy beautiful music and have high expectations of preaching and teaching. After mass we meet together for coffee and, usually once a month, for lunch. In recent months, our Sunday congregation has numbered between forty and fifty and is increasing.

Our congregation is friendly, supportive and inclusive. It has a diverse racial and social mix. Young and old worship together though, as yet, there are few children and teenagers. We would welcome more families with children and local Bloomsbury residents. We also welcome students and those new to
London.

Our vision is to grow in worship, prayer and understanding; to offer fellowship, nurture and care; to provide opportunities for service and witness and to live as those who seek to address the challenges of modern life critically, sanely, compassionately and spiritually.

Is this your vision too? If so, accept Philip’s invitation (John’s
Gospel Ch. 1, v. 46) and ours.

Yours faithfully,
Perry Butler,
Rector
