Church & History
St Clement Danes is a Sir Christopher Wren designed church. It has a 1000 year history. You are warmly welcome to visit and explore.
Due to the special nature of St Clement Danes as the Central Church of the Royal Air Force, certain special events and services can affect visiting hours. To avoid disappointment, it is strongly recommended to check our website for closures or changes to visiting hours.

Royal Air Force
RAF Chaplaincy Services at St Clement Danes complements RAF Station Chaplaincy. In London District it works collaboratively with its sister services to provide whole force pastoral and spiritual care, irrespective of religious belief or status.
For generations, members of the Royal Air Force family have enjoyed services of Holy Matrimony and Baptisms. Memorial and funeral services have taken special place. These remain a strong feature today.
The church holds the Books of Remembrance to all those who have died in service in the Royal Air Force. It also displays unique RAF artefacts from its 100-year history and treasures from the old parish.
