Welcome to Effra Road Chapel, the spiritual home of Brixton’s freethinkers since 1839.
Our Unitarian theology / spirituality is: liberal Christian; multi-faith; humanist; inclusive; ever evolving; and embracing of those of all faiths and none.
Sunday Service: We meet most Sundays at 10:30am to 11:30am to enjoy readings, music, singing, meditation / prayer, quietness, reflection, peace and encouragement, followed by fellowship over refreshments. Refreshments are also served before the service. Do drop-in if we sound like your cup of tea. You will be made very welcome without too much fuss.
