What's on this Christmas in London for City workers, families, and singles?
Join us this Christmas at St Helen’s Bishopsgate, a historic London church dating back to 1210 and known as the church attended by William Shakespeare. Our traditional carol services and all-age family carols combine timeless music, the story of Christmas, and the warm welcome of an evangelical Christian community at the heart of the city. Whether you’re exploring faith, visiting London, or returning for a much-loved tradition, our carol services offer a festive and meaningful experience for everyone.
