Welcome

Thank you for looking at the St James's website. St James's is an Anglican church near the centre of London. We welcome worshippers, enquirers and visitors from all over London and from many parts of the world as well as from this locality. Although part of the Church of England, St James's is pleased to be able to offer hospitality to members of all traditions.

St James's is open for visitors most days and the church provides a much needed space for quiet prayer in the heart of Paddington. The church is only 2 minutes walk from the mainline station and Lancaster Gate tube is also just around the corner. It is also possible to come in and light a candle for your prayer intention.

Come to St James's to discover its heritage - many famous names are associated with the church: Alexander Flemming, Oscar & Constance Wilde, George Edmund-Street, Robert Baden-Powell & J M Barrie.
