The church is open daily for quiet prayer and reflection.
St Matthew's is a small church nestled amidst Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral and the great departments of state — proclaiming Christian values of welcome, hospitality, prayer and a sense of the presence of God in the midst of the busy city.
We are a community committed to radical inclusion, where everyone is welcome, whatever their background, beliefs, or where they find themselves on their journey. Our doors are open every day.
Built between 1849 and 1851 to the design of Sir George Gilbert Scott, with later work by G. F. Bodley and Sir Ninian Comper, we stand in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England — a tradition we hold gently and inclusively, expressed through the daily rhythm of the Eucharist and the Offices at the heart of our common life.
