Bunhill Fields was the first piece of land bought by Quakers in London. Just outside the walls of the City of London, it was purchased in 1661 as a burying ground for all London Quakers. George Fox, the founder of Quakerism, was buried here in 1691. By 1855, when the ground was closed for burials, some 12 000 Quakers had been interred here. The space has always been open to the public.

In the 1880s a meeting house, coffee tavern, medical mission and adult school — Bunhill Memorial Buildings — were erected on a corner of the burial ground. All but the caretaker's house were destroyed in successive bombing raids during World War II.

That caretaker's house is our present meeting house where you are welcome to join us for worship every Sunday at 11am, and third Wednesday of each month 12.45 - 1.30pm
