Welcome!
We are a Church of England Church in Clapham, South London and a diverse faith community seeking to serve the spiritual and practical needs of our local community. Please do get in touch with us for more information and we would love to see you again!
Services
Our main service is on a Sunday at 11am. Our style is informal and a friendly community space for time to worship. Our congregation comes from quite diverse backgrounds and ages, and all are welcome! There is an opportunity for prayer at the end of the service. There are also light refreshments served after the service, and why not join us in a game of table football or pool!
Children and Young People
They are all very welcome at St James and are encouraged to be actively involved in the services. There is an informal creche area at the back of church, and we really don’t mind if the little ones want to walk around the church while the service is going on, please do walk with them to keep them safe. There is a group for young people and children that meets twice a month.
Visiting us during the week
Our beautiful church is open on a Tuesday from 11am-1pm, for prayer, to light a candle and to donate to the foodbank. You will receive a warm welcome, rain or shine! And do enjoy our beautiful garden!

Morning and Night Prayer via Zoom
We have a short service of Morning Prayer, lasting about 30 mins or less, on a Tuesday and Thursday at 9am. We also have Night Prayer, lasting about 15 mins or less, on a Tuesday and Thursday at 9.15pm. It is a lovely way to start and end the day with a warm and welcoming group. You will need to sign-up for our daily enews to access the Zoom link for these.
E:news
We send out a daily e:news, with a thought for the day three times a week. It also contains the latest information on what is coming up during the week. So it’s an excellent way of keeping in touch. It also contains the zoom links to various things happening online. To join our enews please subscribe by clicking here.
Come and see our Garden
We have a wonderful and vibrant garden which enriches us with beautiful colours throughout the year. There are a few benches to sit on and have a rest, so come and visit us. If you come on a Tuesday between 11am-1pm, you can also come inside the church too!
