St Giles is a such a wonderful place to visit or just to spend some time, away from your burden, afflictions or your busy schedule. The church is just impressive and it has been so touching to find out that Oliver Cromwell got married here. I always come back with the deepest pleasure at St Giles Cripplegate, being one of my favourite places.

私は2014年から信者の1人としてこの教会に来ていますが、コロナの後に天井のライトを増設し大理石の内部を綺麗にして木製のベンチも全て新しくなり見違える様に明るく美しい姿になりました。礼拝以外にもコンサートやブックフェアや地域のイベントに使われる親しみ易い教会ですから是非訪れて下さい。訪問の価値はあります。 Worth to visit!
