Shoreditch Church

St Leonard's Church Shoreditch (often just referred to as Shoreditch Church) is a Christian place of worship of the Church of England. It was built in 1740.
It is a local landmark notable for it's 192 foot tall steeple, it's classically inspired design and pale stone coloured cladding which makes it stand out from its (now) trendy surroundings. It completed a major renovation project in 2020 with money from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. In order to limit the spread of COVID-19 and in compliance with the latest government restrictions it is currently closed.
It isn't clear when it will reopen but when it does I encourage a visit to see the interior of the Church and outside without the scaffolding erected for the renovations.

Not sure if the church is still in use in the classical way: people were having coffee, someone came out with a bike, people were just sitting there… very cosy.
I went to see the plaque of James Parkinson in honour of my father.

Beautiful church and lovely people. Morning services are quaint, evening ones are full of energy. The music team is amazing and Church leadership is very encouraging!

Giving it 5 stars as I'm worried so many churches in London are being transformed to apartments and this one could use a bit of paint. So I entered to chip in, despite I'm not religious. Small green area, nice as a meeting point for a Shoreditch trip and close to Sunday flower market.

I love to take a stroll through the graveyard with a coffee in the morning. It's a wonderful reminder that death is inevitable to us all, particularly on days you might be feeling more invincible than normal.

The name of the church is St Leonard’s. It’s been called that for centuries. There’s a fascinating memorial plaque dedicated to Shakespeare’s friends and colleagues who lived nearby, worshipped and were buried here.

Pretty church gardens, friendly dog walkers and homeless people all mull along well. The volunteering gardeners have been there for years on end and tend the fauner all year around, they are friendly, knowledgeable and do a fantastic job.

Grounds look amazing incredible that it is cared for by volunteers, love the wacky benches and seats absolute joy
