How to find us

St Alfege Church is a diverse congregation with a rich musical tradition and a thriving church school. Come along to a service to get a feel for our worship and to meet other people.

There has been a church here for over a thousand years, dedicated to the memory of Alfege, the Archbishop of Canterbury who was martyred on this site in 1012. St Alfege Church was the first London church designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, and many key historical figures in Greenwich's royal, maritime and scientific history have close links with the site including Henry Vlll, Thomas Tallis, General James Wolfe and John Flamsteed.

St Alfege Church stands at the heart of historic Greenwich within the National Maritime World Heritage Site and Royal Borough of Greenwich. The Cutty Sark is close by as is the National Maritime Museum, the Old Royal Naval College, the Fan Museum, the University of Greenwich, Greenwich Park and the Royal Observatory.
