Welcome! I am Fr. Tom Pyke and I am the Vicar of Church of England Parish of the Isle of Dogs, London. Our church, Christ Church, is on Manchester Road at the southern tip of the loop in the Thames (we call it ‘the Island’).

The congregation comes from many nationalities, traditions and denominations and reflects the diversity of the Island’s changing population – personally, I have worked in the Parish since November 2006. Before that I was vicar and industrial chaplain in Birmingham. I combine my work in the parish with work as a Chaplain in the Royal Naval Reserve.

Christ Church belongs to the catholic tradition of the Church of England. Our worship is beautiful, using colour, music, teaching, drama and poetry. At the same time it is relaxed and welcoming. We have  different groups offering children’s work during the week. The focal point of our life together is the Parish Mass at 11am on Sunday.

We welcome people who want to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Christian faith.

Throughout the current period of COVID-19 our services have bheen held online as Zoom meetings and some have beeen recorded for you to listen back. Our next Meetings on Zoom are on Sundays 2nd and the 9th August  (the Eighth and Ninth Sundays after Trinity). 

We have resumed our celebration of Mass in the church, with a reduced congregation, on Sundays at 4pm. There won't be a live streamed version of this service for the next two weeks to allow for holidays. Live-streaming will resume on Sunday 16th August.

Here is our live-streamed service from Wednesday 22nd July, the Feast of St Mary Magdalene:
