An oasis of peace in the heart of the busy city for a moment of mindfulness and reflection each weekday at 4:00 pm.

Each weekday at the end of the day, from 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm, the main body of the church becomes an oasis of peace in the heart of the busy city.

The church is candlelit, and anyone is welcome to call in for a time of quiet and stillness, whether for five minutes or the full hour.

The city can be a frantic and stressful environment for those who work or live in London, or are visiting the capital. We provide a welcome and much needed sanctuary and an opportunity for mindfulness, reflection and prayer.

Space for Silence runs throughout the year, but occasionally events in church mean that we may have to suspend it on a particular day. Please check the What's On calendar on our website to confirm.

A short prayerful service to help prepare for your day.

Find a meditative and reflective start to the working day at St Bride’s each weekday morning at 8:15 am by joining our service of morning prayer downstairs in the main crypt chapel.

This is a modern language service that lasts about 15 minutes, and includes prayers, silence, and the Bible readings set for the day.

At this service we offer the prayers left by visitors on our prayer board.

We also remember journalists who have died recently, and those who are in danger, held hostage, or who are in any kind of need, as part of our ministry to journalism.

Our annual Remembrance Sunday service is on 9th November and begins earlier than usual at 10:50am with the traditional two-minute silence at 11am after the playing of the Last Post.

Remembrance Sunday is one of the most solemn services in the church’s year as we gather, along with others across the country, to pay tribute to those who lost their lives fighting for their country in a tradition that began over a century ago in 1919.

MUSIC
The service will include a liturgical performance of Duruflé’s Requiem Mass sung by the professional St Bride’s Choir – accompanied by the St Bride’s Orchestra – and begins with the Pie Jesu from the Mass whilst commemorative wreaths are laid on the altar steps.

All are welcome to attend this free service; no booking required. Please note the service begins at 10:50am.
