The Bishop of London will be taking the Sunday service at both churches on Sunday 18th December. We look forward to welcoming her and showing her how amazing both parishes are!

Evening Prayer on Tuesday’s at St Mary Mags (6pm)
In todays hectic London, it is rare to be able to grab 30 mins of calm, peaceful prayer and reflection. Why not come along to evening prayer, and allow yourself a moment of quiet to be with god.
