St. Marylebone Parish Church A living community of faith and worship set in the heart of Marylebone. Welcome to all.

St Marylebone Parish Church is a place of active and engaged Christian witness, set at the very heart of central London. With a history stretching back nearly 900 years, we seek to offer God worship that has long been renowned for musical and liturgical excellence and to serve the diverse community in which we are set. For more than 30 years, St Marylebone, just a few metres from Harley Street, has pioneered the work of Christian healing and, as well as being home to the internationally respected St Marylebone Healing and Counselling Centre, which offers low-cost analytical psychotherapy and spiritual direction, the Crypt at St Marylebone also houses an innovative NHS doctor’s surgery - the Marylebone Health Centre. Our work is enhanced by maintaining close and active links with some of medicine’s Royal Colleges and through our provision of chaplaincy to The London Clinic and King Edward VII’s Hospital. St Marylebone has a flourishing Young Church which complements our two schools: The St Marylebone Church of England School, an Outstanding Academy, National Teaching School and Maths Hub, and The St Marylebone Church of England Bridge School, a Free Special School working with secondary school age students who have speech, language and communication difficulties. Alongside our two schools St Marylebone works closely with the Royal Academy of Music and the University of Westminster, providing chaplaincy services to both, and also with Regent’s University. As a parish church in the Diocese of London, we share a vision of a Church for this great world city that is Christ-centred and outward looking. By God’s grace we seek to be more confident in speaking and living the Gospel of Jesus Christ, more compassionate in serving others with the love of God the Father and more creative in reaching new people and places in the power of the Spirit.

🎵 A little behind-the-scenes look at our Rieger organ.

Our Rieger being serviced this weekend, and we have a very special visitor helping to keep it in good working order.

Michael Fritsch has travelled from Rieger in Austria to carry out the service, which includes checking the tone and tuning, as well as oiling the organ’s mechanics.

As you can see, there is rather a lot going on behind the organ console!

The 1987 Rieger instrument has been an important part of musical life at St Marylebone for almost 40 years. It was the result of a unique collaboration between St Marylebone Parish Church and the neighbouring Royal Academy of Music, and is used every day by students from the Academy as they practise and develop their skills.

The organ also accompanies our Sunday services and professional choir, leads our congregational singing and features in regular concerts.

We’re looking forward to hearing the organ continue to play its part in the musical life of St Marylebone. 🎶

180 years ago … a secret marriage

On 12 September 1846, Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett were secretly married at St Marylebone Parish Church.

Both were among the most celebrated poets of Victorian Britain, and their love story — and the poetry it inspired — has become one of the great literary romances of the nineteenth century.
Why did this famous couple need to marry in secret?

180 years later, their story is part of our 100 Objects display, which uncovers the remarkable people, events and stories connected with St Marylebone.
Discover the story of the Brownings — and the secret marriage that took place here.
