The church itself is rather shabby. Just a protestant prayer house, mostly devoid of beauty. But it is worth visiting for one thing - the magnificent stained glass with various saints. It contains a beautiful image of St Anselm of Canterbury wearing green vestments and a hare by his feet. I love St Anselm and this is one of the most charming images of this Doctor of the Church I have seen. So, visit the church and enjoy the magnificent stained glass window.

Mainly know it as my local polling station and once for a classical concert from the local school. Nice building and surrounded by old headstones etc dug up when the Barbican estate was being built. Interesting stained glass window on West end showing the modern City of London skyline a few years back with No 42 or the old Nat West Tower as it was known before, being most recognisable

I visited here to attend a concert put on by Guildhall School on the other side of the lake. The building oozes character and history, and the acoustics were perfect for listening to the woodwind instruments. However, the seating wasn't particularly comfortable, and the temperature inside required keeping wrapped up - this was in late November, perhaps in the summer it would be fine.

An amazing find on my trip around Barbican Henry IV epoch and the atmosphere alone has a deep effect on the soul

Amazing Church service led by the minister on Easter Sunday. Church atmosphere is very welcoming and the 2 huge organs they have make lovely music. Spacious and beautiful on the inside and worth going for the day. We were able to dress casual with jeans and sweatshirt. Definitely recommend for young couples and people with children. Also have a cute Sunday school group of young kids who do crafts about the days service in the back

Beautiful church inside a brutalist style block

My parents were married here and myself and my siblings all christened here 🥰

It's a very cute old church, all tucked away in at a hidden corner in the centre of it all. Located by the Barbican, St Giles has occasional musical performances which are really nice to attend. It's quite large on the inside and there's a lot of space to sit. The church also has an organ, which I found to be very lovely to listen to.

Lovely church!

Surprising historical find in the centre of the much more modern Barbican development. Very pleasant brass band can be found rehearsing on Wednesday evenings.

lovely place, i liked it because it was quiet and i felt like i almost wasn't in a city because it seemed so peaceful. As nice as London is it is nice to get away and relax and this is a great place to go to do so. would definitely go back next time im there.

This place is so beautiful. It even has a children's section with tiny sofas and chairs alongside a huge pile of books about stories from the bible explained in pictures and cute coloured pages. Although that is weird and inappropriate to think about in my head, but it's just cute!

Oh! It's a wonderful place

Rare place of peace and history Wander round andcsit for 15 or 20 minutes

I was involved in a concert here. As fabulous as ever. Great team on hand to help. Beautiful space.

amazing to find such a church surrounded by all the brutalist architecture of the barbican centre

Beautiful church, fascinating history, great acoustic for singing in.

Nice gothic church with big organ and stained glass windows

Church with lot of family connections, work being done so not much to see to get close too, worth a return visit in the future

Beautiful medieval church in fa tastic surroundings. Check the concerts

It's a glorious church tucked into the heart of the Barbican, and a brilliant venue for classical concerts. Word of warning though, there's no toilets so you have to go to the Barbican over the walkway.

Lovely. My best friend penny sings here on a Sunday morning. There's a book fayre in the church on Sundays after mass which is always goid for a cheap read and huge selection of books and a decent selection of dvd. Most items cost 2 to 3 pounds each maybe more depending on size if the book. The rectory attached to the church is very pleasant and have been welcomed here by the vicar with a glass of wine and some nibbles....all free and very congenial bunch of worshippers. Great place in the centre of our favourite brutalist architecture in london - the barbican. That's another review all to itself!!!!

Revisited after 45 years,my friend married here, but at the time i did not know it is also where Oliver Cromwell got married

A very hidden Church, inside the Barbican development, is a Gothic new refurbished Church and one of the few Medieval churches remained. Strongly recommend it

Interesting church surrounded by park

Very beautiful ancient parish church with rich history. I went there for the Lawyers Music Orchestra. It worth to visit.

Lovely church, beautiful interior. Flexible space, excellent for concerts/performances.

It is a beautiful church I love the structure, the stained glass and the details they have preserved. the history of the place is incredible a place to visit without a doubt. They also do a lot to promote culture with the locals.

Very beautiful Anglican church in the heart of the barbican.

Wonderful building

One of many such churches in and around the City of London. Fine example but nothing stand out.

Excellent organ . Good concerts . Interesting services , wonderful organ lessons , friendly and helpful staff

Lovely condert German Choir London

Amazing historical place. Quiet

Wonderful Royal Mencap Carol Service with Music Man Project and English Baroque Choir

Beautiful old church by a lake at the Barbican

Grade I Listed and much rebuilt medieval church rich in associations with numerous notables over the ages, nestles aside The Barbican lake terrace, London Wall remnant and London Girls School. Historic artefacts and accoutrements in a restored and subdued interior. Regretfully the bare immediate surrounds with the exception of a few trees is denuded of colour and supportive context. Bring on the landscapers.

They have a good book fair on Sundays

A beautiful hidden gem of a music venue. Wonderful surroundings and a great atmoshere. I visited to listen to a Gamelan concert which matched St. Giles Cripplegate perfectly.

Didn't know that there are so many lovely little churches hidden amongst the office buildings of the City of London. Really worth a walking visit to see these.

Really nice church with connections to a lot of historical figures. Very worth a visit. Friendly curator here too. Thanks.

A beautiful church in a pleasant setting by the Barbican lake, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It has a good acoustic too. I've played in concerts and masterclasses here for decades.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place of worship and culture in a quiet environment and a very airy residential space. (Original) Beau lieu de culte et de culture dans un environnement calme et un espace résidentiel très aéré.

Nice

Nice church for carols

Sometimes has a book sale.

Sanctuary in the heart of the Barbican

Wonderful church

Lovely place to sit in the sun.
