Keep in touch with news from the parish
Our fifteenth century beacon church rises on the northern edge of London, beside Hadley Common in one of the city’s best kept corners of countryside. Here a numinous, merry common life is lived out, in a parish where Sunday worship carries the cadence and imagination of the Prayer Book, in living, modern language. Through the year we keep feasts and dances that gather the whole community. Come on your own or bring the whole family, to sing, to pray, to tell stories, or simply to sit and think. You are welcome.
Sundays, 10.30am and 6.30pm. Open every day, 9am to 7pm

An independent group of neighbours who love the church and help to look after it.
Readers, servers, sidespeople, coffee makers. There is a job for anyone who would like one.
Children are welcome at everything we do, and nobody minds the noise.
We meet outside the services to read, talk and pray together.
