““Worship is the response of the creature to the eternal.””

Regular Services

St George’s is a welcoming, vibrant world-diverse, inclusive church. We worship in the catholic tradition of the Church of England and the Mass or Eucharist is central to our identity. We have deep roots in tradition and deep roots in our neighbourhood: beautiful worship is our aim, yet this is never at the expense of being real about who and where we are. We are reverent but unfussy, serious about the sacred mysteries but with smiles on our faces and laughter in our bellies.

The Liturgy (the structure of the service) has been passed down to us and we receive it as a gift that holds and sustains us in all of our mess, unbelief, reverence and longing. We have a rhythm to our worship, a pattern that keeps us rooted in the mysteries of faith no matter what is going on for us personally or collectively.

Don’t worry if you feel like you don’t know what to do in a church service. Come as you are, sit, stand, kneel as you wish and just go with the flow, there is no judgement here. Come and feel at home in the conscious presence of God.

  • Sunday morning Mass is our main gathering of the week. Everything we do in our lives looks towards meeting God's love in this weekly celebration and our strength is found here. It is at Mass that we receive Christ into our hearts and our lives in Holy Communion, the Sacrament of his Body and Blood. We learn about how God works in our lives. We share in each other's joys and sorrows. Everyone is welcome - new people, young people, older people, people that have never darkened the door of a church, or people who want to find peace or return to Church again, after an absence. Everyone is given a special place.

  • This service is a special intimate time of prayer in the middle of the week, to soothe the soul and to keep us focused on God between Sundays. It is a short service lasting around 30 minutes. Everyone is welcome to come along and encounter God in his word and through the blessed sacrament of the Eucharist.

  • Life in London can feel busy and overwhelming. Holy Hour at St George the Martyr, Borough, offers something different: one hour of calm, silence, and beautiful music. It is one of the most peaceful ways to experience quiet prayer in London.
