About

History

St. George in the East is an iconic Anglican church in Shadwell, London, designed by renowned architect Nicholas Hawksmoor and completed in 1729. Part of the early 18th-century initiative to build churches for London’s growing population, it showcases Hawksmoor’s bold Baroque style with its distinctive tower and lantern dome. Located in the heart of the East End, the church has played a significant role in the area’s history, from its maritime roots to its modern-day significance. Restored after wartime damage, St. George in the East remains a stunning architectural landmark and a testament to London’s rich cultural heritage.
