The Friends of the City Churches

The Friends of the City Churches is an architectural heritage charity dedicated to preserving the beautiful and unique churches found within the square mile of the City of London. As part of our work we:

bring together the many people who love and value the City churches

help arrange and publicise regular church opening hours — providing volunteer 'watchers' when required

produce and publish City Events

organise special events and encourage extended use of the City's churches

encourage a wider appreciation of the churches

promote the many services and events taking place in our City churches.
