St John's Waterloo

Here for you

Here for worship

St John's broad-church approach to worship attracts a diverse congregation and we celebrate a growing reputation as one of the most inclusive churches in London. Everyone is welcome. Join us on Sundays or every day for Morning Prayer, in person or online.

Here for music and arts

St John's is a well-known music venue and runs the annual Waterloo Festival. Now we're building a year-round programme co-curated by artists and performers and involving our diverse local neighbourhood.

Here for community

Find out what our congregation and our charity The Bridge at Waterloo does to help people experience homelessness and isolation, and those whose lives have been made even more challenging by the cost of living crisis.

Here for venue hire

Grade II* St John's is one of the most beautiful and flexible historic venues on the South Bank and we now have an exclusive catering partner, Bovingdons, for weddings, conferences, filming and private events. We also welcome bookings for concerts, performances and exhibitions, classes, meetings and workshops with special rates for charities and community groups.

Transformed by £5.5m restoration

Our historic Grade II* church reopened in October 2022 after being restored and transformed by Eric Parry Architects. As a magnificent place of worship and one of the best performance, event and meeting spaces on the South Bank, we can now fulfil our commitment to be here for everyone.
