St Matthew's Westminster

Tour of Westminster Abbey for the Friends of St Matthew's

6.45pm Wednesday 8th February

Friends of St Matthew's are invited to a private tour by night of Westminster Abbey. We will meet at the West Door at 6.45pm.

The tour begins at 7pm but as the Abbey is closed at this time it will not be possible to join us if you arrive after the start of the tour.

There is no charge for Friends, although due to the popularity of this event, please book a place.

It looks like it's going to be a wonderful evening and it's not too late to come along...

...if you are not yet a Friend of St Matthew's, you can join here.

Inaugural walking club

The walking club had a marvellous walk through the Royal Parks - St James’s, Green Park, Hyde Park. Bright sunshine - London at its best.

Details of the second walk will be published here as soon as they are available.

There will be coffee stops along the way and somewhere for lunch at the end. We hope you’ll come and join us for some fresh air and good company!

Prayer at St Matthew's

You are warmly invited to join us for Synaxis, a new monthly service of prayer and contemplation.

Prayer provides ways of punctuating each day of the week with praise, prayer and attention to Scripture. As George Herbert puts it, 'seven whole days, not one in seven' will we praise God.
