Separate service sheet
All are welcome to attend our services without giving prior notice but please note that for certain major services, in particular the Easter State Parade and Christmas Carol Service, admission is by ticket issued in advance and/or by named lists, so anyone arriving without a ticket or whose name is not on a list for one of these popular services is likely to be refused admission. The reason is that Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula seats only 180 - fewer than many parish churches - and there is simply not room for as many as would like to attend some of these special services. The Chapel of St John the Evangelist can acommodate only about 40 people. Please check, at the latest by the preceding Friday, with the Chapel Admininistrator to avoid disappointment. Thank you for your understanding.
Please also note that closed street events such as the London Marathon create difficulties for getting to the Tower, so you should allow extra time for your journey on those days.
