IMG_8597

St Mary Moorfields is located at 4-5 Eldon St, London EC2M 7LS (click for a map). This is in the City of London, the capital's financial district. The Guild of St Clare Vestment Mending Days take place in the large basement under the church.

Tube: the church is between Moorgate Tube Station (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, plus the Northern Line) and Liverpool Street (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, plus the Central, and main line trains).

Parking: There is limited on-street parking nearby. The nearest car park is NCP London Finsbury Square.

Lunch: We have a break of about an hour for lunch, which can be consumed in the basement where there is a kitchenette, hot water, tables, and so on.

If you need to buy food, there are shops in all directions, including a large Marks & Spencer Food Hall with an entrance off Dominion Street, round the corner from the Church.

History: Over the years the Latin Mass Society has organised many Masses in Moorfields, notably the services of the Easter Triduum.

There has been a Catholic church on this site since 1820; the present church was opened in 1903. Between 1850 and 1869 it was the 'pro-Cathedral' of the Archdiocese of Westminster; later Our Lady of Victories in Kensington served this function until Westminster Cathedral was built.

We would like to record our thanks to successive Parish Priests their hospitality.
