The Parish of
St Matthew, Willesden
We are a London-based community church welcoming Christians of all backgrounds to worship together.
We are a lively, busy church with a confident, exuberant faith. Firmly rooted in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England, we proclaim the Good News through Word, Sacrament and Service.
Holy Week 2026
Come and join us as we mark the mystery of our salvation, from the triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, Jesus' teachings and ultimate betrayal as marked on Holy Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the institution of the Eucharist on Maundy Thursday, the pain and sorrow of the crucifixion on Good Friday, and the eternal joy of the resurrection as celebrated on the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday.
You would be most welcome!

Worship is offered on most days during the week, with the main act of worship being our sung Solemn Mass every Sunday at 11am. Our Sunday School also takes place during the service, and there's a creche at the back of church too for little ones.
