King's College London - Homepage

If you are new to London, the Chaplaincy is able to help you find a place of worship and a community to belong to. We have also arranged various trips to explore some of the many places of worship London has to offer, giving you a chance to learn more about many of the faith communities in the capital. 

The Vocations Group is open to all King's staff and students who are looking to explore where God may be leading them in their lives.

Contact the Chaplaincy to express an interest in joining.

If you are considering Baptism and/or Confirmation or would like to learn more about Christian faith, please contact any of the Chaplains on the campus that is most appropriate.

Services can be arranged for King's students and staff in either of the College Chapels. 

Contact the Chaplaincy to express an interest in joining.

The Chaplaincy arranges regular Cathedral & Abbey tours as well as retreats.
