Quakers in Hammersmith

Quakers in Hammersmith

Quakerism is a non-credal religion, with Christian roots, whose worship is based on silence and listening to the spirit. Quakers practise truth, equality and simplicity and pursue paths leading to peace.

The Society of Friends (Quakers) have been in Hammersmith since 1653. Our original Meeting House was bombed in 1944 during the Second World War and the foundation can still be seen in Furnival Gardens. Our new Meeting House dates from 1956.
