Welcome to St James Garlickhythe

We are a church in the heart of the City of London - disciples of Jesus Christ, dedicated to serving all people.

St James Garlickhythe is an Anglican Parish Church serving a busy parish on the bank of the Thames in the City of London.

We are a traditional and friendly church rejoicing in the good news of the Christian faith revealed in Jesus Christ. Our services follow the beauty of the Book of Common Prayer and are often accompanied by fine music. Known as Wren’s Lantern for its abundance of light, the church still shines as a spiritual beacon in the heart of the City. Whether you work nearby or are visiting in person or online, you are warmly invited to pause, enjoy the beauty of this historic building, and find a place of prayer, refreshment, and peace.
