Welcome to the homepage of the Anglican Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, London.
Following the success of tours on the day of the Bermondsey Street Festival in September and on three occasions since, we are doing guided tours of the church, approximately every six weeks. The next tours will be on Saturday April 10th; please follow the Guided Tours link for more information.
Our main weekly service is Holy Communion, held at 1030 - 1200 on Sunday mornings. See Services and Events this month for full details of all services. Also, we run Alpha and START courses for those interested in becoming a Christian and/or learning more about their faith - the next will be advertised on the Services and Events page, or else contact the Rector to express an interest.
St Mary
Magdalen Bermondsey is a parish of the Church of England, in the Deanery of Bermondsey
in the Anglican Diocese of Southwark. The church building is essentially late 17th
Century, with a mediæval tower, and is Grade II* listed.
The parish extends north to the River Thames and includes the south tower of Tower Bridge, as well as the London Authority building and part of London Bridge Station. It includes the former parishes of St Olave Tooley Street, St Luke Grange Road and St John Horselydown (sometimes spelled "Horsleydown").

This website was launched in October 2004, and is still being developed as time permits, so please return and find out more about the church, its people and its history. Better still, come and visit us on a Sunday morning - and be ready to stay for a coffee and a chat afterwards.
Note that the church is not "St Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey". Although the notice engraved by the front door in the 19th C says "Magdalene", it was "Magdalen" in the 13th C and that is our practice now as well. Unfortunately, given the workings of the internet search engines, many people would miss us unless this is mentioned!
