St James’s Church Piccadilly has been at the heart of the community since 1684. It is a Sir Christopher Wren Church, steeped in History. Prime Ministers and significant individuals have been part of its history as well as a long tradition of Royal connections. Within the church is the magnificent organ gifted to the church in 1691 by King William III and Queen Mary II. Artistic greats such as Handel and Grinling Gibbons are associated with the church as well as people who have helped shaped our world such as Isaac Newton and William Black, all contributing to the history of this unique space which is St James’s Piccadilly.
