Welcome to St Alfege Church!
This sacred place has been at the heart of Greenwich since St Alfege was martyred in here in 1012. We offer inclusive worship for all ages, and are home to a rich musical tradition and architectural heritage. We keep this beautiful church open to visitors, worshippers, and those who need time for rest and reflection throughout the week.
