Welcome to St Paul’s Church New Southgate N11

a place of Christian worship with a caring community and a beautiful, historic building in a vibrant area of North London.

Come to a Church Service

We are a Church of England (Anglican) parish church where you can find a warm welcome, whoever you are. If you’re new to the area, or want to try a church service for the first time – we are here for you.

We have a Parish Eucharist (Holy Communion) every Sunday at 10.30am and informal worship at 4.30pm. Our morning setup includes a thriving Young Church in our Parish Hall which runs in term-time for children, and we have a toddler corner within the church.

On the first Sunday of each month we have an All-Age Eucharist where children are particularly celebrated, and soup is served after the service.

If you would like to get in touch about services, Baptism, Funeral or Wedding enquiries or for prayer, contact our vicar.

Hire Our Hall

We have a large, 200 person capacity hall with a kitchen which can be booked for events and as a venue for regular classes and groups. From first birthday parties, to Zumba classes and karate – our versatile space has a lot to offer.

In addition we have a small office space and large garden which can also be used. See our hall hire page.

Join Our School

We have strong connections with our Church Primary School in The Avenue, N11. Our single form entry school provides excellent education, developing our children holitically – growing in Wisdom, Compassion and Endurance. See our school page for more information.
