…a Home …a Place …a Space
a Home for a worshipping Church of England congregation
a Place for music & the arts, for gathering & community use
a Space of beauty, rest & refreshment
"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience."
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881 – 1955)
The insight above (from de Chardin) is true for every person - and so we at St Giles’ Church try to be a welcoming, open, inclusive and friendly community church, enabling each other on this journey.
We are in the catholic tradition of the Church of England and we support the ministry of all.
A church has stood on this site of St Giles’ for over 1,000 years and we continue to serve the people of Camberwell to this day.

Please consider a donation to our ‘Charity Support Buildings Fund’ ……
In addition to our regular Congregation Stewardship Giving we rely heavily on event hire, and other donations.
Like most not-for-profit public buildings we were hit hard because of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns.
We remain therefore in continuing need of funds to maintain our other buildings (The St Giles’ Centre and St Giles’ Parish Hall) which we rent out to other charities to enable their work.
Charities we host are: Spring Community Hub Southwark Refugee Community Forum Home & Dry Camberwell Choir School and Camberwell Community Choir
We have some on-going and essential maintenance of these buildings continuing during 2025.
Ordinarily this will have been funded through hire fees for occasional bookings (social events, rehearsals, meetings etc.) for many local community groups and other charities.
If you are able to make a one-off donation to help us to continue to cover these maintenance costs it would be very much appreciated.
For information regarding the start of this Fund please see our New Year 2021 Letter.
