St James's Church, Grade II* listed church in Bermondsey, England.

St James's Church features Neoclassical design elements with symmetrical architecture, a prominent spire, and preserved historical tombs in its surrounding gardens.

The church, constructed between 1827 and 1829 by architect James Savage, became a separate parish in 1840 after previously belonging to St Mary Magdalene's parish.

The churchyard transformed from a burial ground to public gardens in 1886 through the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association, maintaining original memorial structures.

The church maintains regular worship services and stands near public transportation connections in the London Borough of Southwark at coordinates 51.497, -0.06679.

The construction of the church spire required a special Act of Parliament in 1831 to secure additional funding, drawing inspiration from St Stephen Walbrook.

Location: London Borough of Southwark

Architects: James Savage
