Girls’ Choir

St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe Girls’ Choir

The Girls’ Choir of St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe, generously supported by The Worshipful Company of Mercers and the residents of Morden College, Blackheath, offers girls in London an opportunity to sing liturgical music of the highest quality and finest tradition. Ben Saul, Choir Director, is a teaching professor at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, and a freelance accompanist and choral director. He has a strong history of establishing youth choirs.

The Girls’ Choir regularly rehearses at the church during term-time, and sang alongside the English Chamber Choir at the 50th Anniversary Service of the Re-hallowing of St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe on Thursday 14 July 2011, and also sang at our recent Patronal Festival and Christmas Carol Service. They will be singing at the Maundy Thursday service on 5 April 2012 at 6.30 pm.

The church is situated on the east side of St Andrew's Hill. From Ludgate Hill turn south down Creed Lane (two short blocks from the front of St Paul's Cathedral). At the bottom of Creed Lane turn left into Carter Lane and immediately turn right into St Andrew's Hill. The church is situated 50 yards along the road and up the steps beside the Pub & Eating House and across the road from the Cockpit pub.

Approaching along Queen Victoria Street, the church is situated on the north side of the road, halfway between the Millennium and Blackfriars bridges. The church is set up on a hill with a sloping garden in front, wrought iron gates and a flight of steps. When approaching from along Queen Victoria Street: in order to enter the church via the north door on St Andrew's Hill where there are less steps, walk up the southern section of St Andrew's Hill from Queen Victoria Street to the Pub & Eating House, behind which the church is situated.

The church is served by bus Nos. 4, 11, 15, 17, 23, 26, 76, 100 & 172 along Ludgate Hill and No. 388 along Queen Victoria Street.
