St Anne's Church, Limehouse

Beautiful old grande church With great events organised there often; I went to some beautiful carols services and concerts. I am not part of the church; yet the minister always has been very kind and welcoming.

A nice church with fun days for the kids to bring.

Grade I Listed, much restored, attributed to Hawksmoor, crowned with a massive and distinctive baroque lantern tower supporting an historical flagpole/weather vane, primitive navigational aid and tower clock aligned to Greenwich.
Unusually and by special dispensation the “White Ensign” continually flown here over the surrounding graveyard/garden studded with monuments, tombstones and a war memorial.
The western entrance approached through St.Anne’s Passage shows the design to best advantage.
An active community.

One of my favourite places for spiritual time spending! Very old but very decent place!! Recommend!!!

St Anne's Limehouse is a Hawksmoor Anglican Church in Limehouse, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It was consecrated in 1730, one of the twelve churches built through the 1711 Act of Parliament. C of E... I grew up here and love this place its very special to me... how the yard is full of spring flowers this time of year is just so beautiful... 🌸🌺🍁

Beautiful church. Famous among mariners who used to set their clocks by the church clock as they commenced their voyages across the seas.

Highly recommended

I attended the 6.00p.m. service. The service was quiet and intimate. We took communion together and covered Exodus 15 v 22-27 which covers the Israelites grumbling in the desert because 1) there was no water 2) once God provided it, it was bitter 3) after the Lord instructed Moses to throw wood into it, miraculously it was made sweet enough to drink. The Lord issued a command for the Israelites to do what is good in the sight of the Lord. As they moved on they came upon the blessed place of Elim with 12 springs and 70 palm trees.

Kind Christian hospitality by Rev. Richard Bray and his hardworking wife. Great opportunity to enjoy Christian fellowship after the service in the Rectory. I made the decision that night that I would try to become a part of this Christian community as I am local and need to know that there is Christian family in my neighbourhood. It can be isolating in London and yet this church seems to be doing all the right things to support locals by opening up their home and doing good work for the homeless by offering a shelter on Sunday nights.

Sadly a little neglected, but still very, very worthy of a visit. Fine architecture and design details mixed with an air of ancient austerity.
