This historic church, an Anglican Guild Church in the City of London proclaiming the glory of God in Jesus Christ and serving the local working community and tourists, provides a haven for private prayer in the midst of the city’s bustle. It was first founded around 1000 AD, and the present building has stood on Fleet Street for 180 years.

You are always welcome to join us at any of our services. Our main gathering is for the Eucharist on Tuesdays at 12.30 pm. This service is about half an hour in length and includes a short address.

The church is normally open 10am – 4pm, Monday to Friday. The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the sanctuary and there are votive candle stands.

St Dunstan’s remains grateful to Friends of City Churches churchwatchers for their friendly and knowledgeable presence at the church on Tuesdays.

For all the latest information about services, events and music recitals, please follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook (see side bar on the right).

We welcome our brothers and sisters of the Romanian Orthodox Church (La Biserica Ortodoxã Românã din Londra – Parohía Românã Sf Gheorghe/St Dunstan) and members of the Romanian community in London, for whom St Dunstan’s has been the spiritual home for over 50 years.

Our sixteenth century statue of Queen Elizabeth I can be seen above the porch in our churchyard. The statues of King Lud and his sons are under the porch.

Our popular and varied series of lunchtime recitals continues at 1.15 pm on most Wednesdays and Fridays. Please see our our social media feeds with Tweet #fleetstreetmusic

St Dunstan’s has a noble history of inclusivity and variety. Luminaries of the Christian tradition played their part in the first thousand years of this church’s life. Now we rejoice in being a centre of ecumenical encounter, dialogue and hospitality, where prayer for the unity of the Church is at the heart of our mission.

May the Spirit who hovered over the waters when the world was created breathe into you the life He gives.

May the Spirit who overshadowed the Virgin when the eternal Son came among us make you joyful in the service of the Lord.

May the Spirit who set the Church on fire upon the Day of Pentecost bring the world alive with the love of the risen Christ.
