The Swiss Church in London functions as a faith community for Swiss residents in the United Kingdom. It situates itself within the wider Christian church, drawing on the Bible and the Swiss Reformation heritage, with influences from Calvin and Zwingli shaping its approach to faith and social action. The organization operates with a small staff and maintains an open stance toward ecumenical and interfaith engagement, inviting Christians of other denominations as well as people from other faiths and spiritual backgrounds to engage with its space. Founded by French-speaking Swiss in the 18th century and later united with a German-speaking congregation, the church sits in Covent Garden in central London, serves as a meeting place for the Swiss community and visitors, and promotes cultural and social activities to foster friendship and understanding.
