St Anne's Limehouse is, and has been an institution of East London's docks for generations. Its imposing clock tower has stood guard over the Tower Hamlets neighbourhood of Limehouse since it was consecrated in 1730. Designed by legendary architect, Nicholas Hawksmoor, it is one of 6 churches of its kind in the entire country, and has opened its doors to thousands of people, both local and international, over the last 300 years. Its intricate stonework, ornate architecture and expansive courtyard have made it a staple in film and television, most recently lending itself for use in the filming of the legendary BBC drama, "Call the Midwife".

However, the years have not been kind to this treasured building. Years of wear and disrepair have unfortunately blighted this cultural institution, and it has recently been placed on the at-risk register, due to its numerous accessibility issues and ageing infrastructure. That's why we urgently need your help to keep our doors open so we can continue to be of service to the community we value so dearly.

We have plans to redevelop the nave, install lifts and wheelchair accessible entrances and exits across all entrances in the building, and help to create a more welcoming and usable space for our diverse local community. Please support us in achieving this goal.
