St John's Hyde Park is an active part of its local community in W2 - a hugely diverse part of central London. As the parish church in this place we are there to serve all those, regardless of whether they come to church. We have good relations with the Hyde Park Estate Association, the residents association, and also work closely with local businesses as well as the local council.
