We are a blend of the traditional and the contemporary, an open, inclusive church serving the people of the parish. In our worship and in our social life we seek to express and share God’s love for everyone. We welcome all, regardless of age, ethnicity, sexuality or church background. Exploring together, we journey towards a fullness of life offered to us through Jesus Christ’s self-sacrificing love.

Our church building.
The original St George’s stood on the same site for over a hundred years until deterioration in the fabric lead to the demolishing and rebuilding of the church in 1999. The stained glass windows were, however, saved and are a large presence in the new sanctuary. The windows were created by Henry Holiday, an artist who was very influenced by and associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
The new St George’s church building was designed by Sydenham-based architects, Thomas Ford & Partners who continue to be involved with the church by performing our quinquennial inspections. It was opened on St George’s Day, 2005, by the Rt. Rev’d. Dr. Tom Butler, then bishop of Southwark.
