Hackney Worship Group. Has been discontinued for a while.

Bunhill Fields Quakers meet in a modestly sized, simply furnished room in what remained of the much larger Quaker establishment after its bombing in World War II.

There are usually between 12 and 18 of us at weekly meetings for worship. In the most recent meeting for marriage we were able to fit 42 guests into the meeting room,

We share the Meeting House building with the charity Quaker Social Action and London and Middlesex General Meeting.

There is a pleasant garden attached to the Meeting House which we use after meeting for worship when the weather is good.

The Meeting House was built next to the historic Quaker burial ground where George Fox, one of the best known founders of Quakerism, is buried. For this reason the site is often visited by people interested in Quakerism from all over the world.

The burial ground is today used as a public open space, including a children's playground. It is still owned by the Quakers.

The area surrounding the Meeting House used to be one of the poorest in London and, in spite of recent gentrification, the population remains very mixed.

Though we are in the London Borough of Islington, we also lie very close to the Boroughs of Hackney, Tower Hamlets and The City of London.

Bunhill Fields Meeting is a part of Devonshire House and Tottenham Monthly Meeting, a geographical grouping of 5 Quaker Meetings, which runs from the City of London outwards to London's northernmost suburbs. The other four meetings are at Tottenham, Winchmore Hill, Stoke Newington and New Barnet.

The Monthly Meeting is itself part of the larger regional grouping of London and Middlesex General Meeting. All Quakers in the UK are part of Britain Yearly Meeting.
