>St. Mary’s Church maintains a strong choral tradition, enhanced by one of the finest organs in London.
The choir plays an active role in worship on Sundays and feastdays and provides music for special occasions such as Choral Evensongs, Nine Lessons and Carols, and the Fauré Requiem for All Souls.  Our Junior Choir is growing in stature and is always seeking new enthusiastic singers.

St Mary's Choir Members of the Ju nior Choir at St Pauls St Mary's Organ
The choir provides the music for services throughout the year. They perform a wide repertoire ranging from plainsong to contemporary works by composers such as John Tavener and Peter Aston. As well as singing for the regular Sunday Morning communion services, the choir provides the music for the weekly Evensong.
Junior Choir offers children from the age of nine choral opportunities: unison and two-part singing, as well as singing with the adults. The choir is led by Linda Wiskin, and supported by Martin Seymour, the Church organist and Choir Master. Recently the choir sang at the Royal School of Church Music Festival at St Paul's Cathedral.
Our current organ was built after the fire in 1969, by Grant, Degens and Bradbeer Ltd. of Northampton, who have also built instruments for New College, Oxford and the University of York. It is a tracker-action organ with a light, clear sound, comprising three manuals and thirty-two speaking stops.
