St George-in-the-East Church

Although the church was closed, the park is pleasant and near a mural at the site of Cable Street, an historic site during the 1930s.

Grade I Listed Hawksmoor designed Baroque church (restored interior) on a wide footprint.
A rich and intriguing parish history includes an involvement and commitment to new migrant communities and ensuing renown for the welcoming hands-on support and succour offered.
Set in a plain grassed area and garden( former cemetery) next to St.George Town Hall with the Cable Street mural and old nature centre ruins in immediate proximity.

A normal Anglican church (not high, not low, not "happy slappy") with an outstanding commitment to supporting the local and wider communities. The building is listed, being an almost 300 years old Hawksmoor, with renovation from WW2 bomb damage done in a thoughtful 1960s style which, amazingly, works very well. It is now a "resource church" for the CoE and there are three vicars (thankfully one is female) who conduct services along with two curates who are a married couple. Well worth a visit!

Beautiful exterior, it was closed when I arrived, when the hours say it should be opened. Unfortunately, The grounds were covered in rubbish and there were groups of teens smoking weed and a group of men that kept harassing me when I was walking and sitting down on the benches outside.

The church hosts concert series and I attended one of these concerts. It was great quality classical music. And it was a beautiful venue for the beautiful music.

Anglican church dedicated to St George and one of the six Hawksmoor churches in London, England. I was captivated ❤️ by the concerts they perform inside.

Stunning architecture and friendly atmosphere

We hired the main church as a rehearsal space for our community band.
Fabulous space and acoustics, can't wait to perform there again when the world re-opens fully!
