Welcome to St Mary-at-Hill

There has been a church here in Billingsgate for 1000 years, and today St Mary's continues this ministry, serving a thriving community in the busy heart of the City of London.

The Church is usually open all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. There is a service at 1300 on Wednesday and music playing on Thursday at lunchtime.

Much of the original church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London (1666), but the walls and frame remained standing.  The building has survived two further major fires, and it stood unscathed through the Blitz. Although marked by its experiences, the spectacular interior retains the beauty and grace of Wren's vision.

The versatile space is much larger than is apparent from outside.

The flower-beds in the churchyard are still looking bright despite the winter weather, and there are benches to sit on out there if you wear your overcoat.

During the week, St Mary’s is a sanctuary of peace and quiet among the busy streets. The heating is working and it is warm and welcoming inside. 

Come and see.
