Our vision for the future of St Andrew by the Wardrobe
St Andrew by the Wardrobe is at a crossroads. It is well loved and valued by City organisations who fill it on significant occasions during the year. Yet, with only a very small regular congregation, this intermittent activity is not enough to sustain it. St Andrew’s needs a new year-round use that will bring the church back to full life and ensure its future viability. Phase one of our refurbishment project is currently underway and we closed on Wednesday 15 December. We hope to reopen after summer 2022.
As work in Phase One nears completion St Andrew by the Wardrobe has featured as a case study by the Church of England on the day it launches the National Net Zero Carbon Pathway. Take a look:
St Andrew by the Wardrobe becomes carbon neutral.
Fr Luke and Archbishop Angaelos from the Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Church inspect the building work.
