๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Built on a design by Sir Christopher Wren and consacrated in 1684, St James’s Piccadilly is an Anglican church in central London that features also a vibrant community programme, including a regular high-quality series of concerts. These are normally free at lunchtime and require a ticket in the evenings. Always a very enjoyable experience with performances by young and talented artists and a setting with good acoustics.

The church is very well rooted in the community around and hosts all kinds of activities, making the best of its central London location. On Mondays and Tuesdays at lunchtime the front courtyard sees food stalls from all around the world, while the rest of the week there are lively antique and flea market stalls. What used to be the graveyard has been turned into a beautiful and well maintained garden, with plants that are very nice to admire all year around, but especially charming during springtime.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Costruita su progetto di Sir Christopher Wren e consacrata nel 1684, St James’s Piccadilly รจ una chiesa anglicana nel centro di Londra che offre anche un vivace programma comunitario, tra cui una serie regolare di concerti di alta qualitร . Normalmente sono gratuiti all’ora di pranzo e richiedono un biglietto la sera. Sempre un’esperienza molto piacevole con esibizioni di artisti giovani e di talento in un ambiente con una buona acustica.

La chiesa รจ molto ben radicata nella comunitร  circostante e ospita ogni tipo di attivitร , sfruttando al meglio la sua posizione nel centro di Londra. Il lunedรฌ e il martedรฌ a pranzo il cortile anteriore vede bancarelle di cibo da tutto il mondo, mentre il resto della settimana ci sono vivaci bancarelle di antiquariato e mercatini delle pulci. Quello che era il cimitero รจ stato trasformato in un bellissimo e ben curato giardino, con piante molto interessanti da ammirare tutto l’anno, ma particolarmente suggestive durante la primavera.

    1. If I’m in the West End around lunchtime I always try to squeeze in a break for a concert or lunch in the gardens. Indeed a corner of tranquillity in the middle of busy London!
