St Columba's Church

YOU'RE INVITED! A CELEBRATION OF SCOTTISH STORIES, IDEAS & CULTURE LONDON ST ANDREW'S BOOK FESTIVAL 16th–22nd NOVEMBER Seven days of brilliant writers, fascinating conversations and inspiring events. Join us at St Columba's and across London.

In the early 1950s, Master Stonemason Fred Dancy, aged 68, handed responsibility for rebuilding St Columba’s to his young colleague Roger “Taffy” Claypitt. Roger became Master Stonemason and worked on the church for more than five years. Built by hand. Built to last.

London never stops. But sometimes we all need a moment to pause. Join us at the London Scottish Chapel for Mid-Week Prayers. A little time for quiet, reflection and connection in the heart of the city. Wednesday 11th November, 1pm. Everyone welcome.

Join us at St Columba’s on Sunday 22nd November at 11am for a special joint service with Crown Court Church of Scotland. Our guest preacher is Rt Revd Gordon Kennedy, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
