What's on in Lansbury

Greater London, England

Lansbury sits right on the edge of Poplar where the river Thames flows past, making it a perfect spot to catch a show without needing a car. The Poplar Union has been hosting gigs and community nights for years, so there is usually a good gig in the wings by Friday evening. Not bad for a place that feels like a proper local hub rather than just another postcode. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting for neighbours who want to mix with people nearby. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you are not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening while wondering if the bus will actually come.

Parish Mass (Eucharist) [Children Friendly]

Our main act of worship each week is a lively celebration of the Eucharist (Mass). We sing hymns, hear the word of God in Scripture, reflect together in our sermon, we pray for people and situations, celebrate the Eucharist, feed on Christ in the bread and wine of his Body and Blood, and are sent out in to our community as Christ’s body to share the love we have received with those around. Children are invited to play a full part in the service, and gather together for noisy church during school term time (with a parent for their first session or if under Reception age). Children are always welcome in Church during our services, and an area of activities is available at the back of Church. Refreshments are served after the service. Do say hello if it’s your first Sunday with us or you’re visiting for the first time. All welcome!

To Re-Cite: Ayat al-Kursi - Sound, Faith, and Collective Listening

We warmly invite you to a workshop as part of the wider development of our newly co-commissioned project with artist Aliaskar Abarkas, exploring sound, music, and listening through faith and collective experience. The session brings together members of our community with Muslim backgrounds to share ideas, and reflections on how sonic practices – from recitation and prayer to breath, rhythm, and silence – shape spiritual, emotional, and communal life. The starting point of the project is the Quranic verse Ayat al-Kursi, whispered across generations, transmitted as both lullaby and sonic protection. This session is the first in a series of workshops forming part of a longer-term project. Further confirmed sessions will take place on: Sun 26 Apr, Sun 17 May, and Sun 31 May. Aliaskar Abarkas is an Iranian artist based in London. Rooted in alternative and communal art education, his practice stages choreographic encounters that move from individual elements into collective expression. Often in dialogue with historical sources, Abarkas builds collaborative frameworks that invite participants to interpret and activate inherited scores through music, exhibition, and performance-making. He is currently an Associate Artist at Sadler’s Wells / Rose Choreographic School (London, 2024–26) and Lead Artist at Autograph Gallery (Acts of Solidarity, in partnership with All Change, London, 2025–28).

Parish Eucharist

Our main service of the week every Sunday and lasts just over an hour. We worship in the liberal anglo-Catholic tradition, using liturgy from Common Worship, often adapted to emphasise our desire to welcome all God’s people. Our congregation is very diverse in every way, and we have a lovely mixture of people who’ve been coming to St John’s for decades, people passing through, and everything in between. We hope that whether you can join us for one week or many years you will feel very welcome. We sing traditional and modern hymns supported by our choir. There are activity bags for younger children, and we have a children’s church session on the first Sunday of every month for young people from about 8 to 15. We have tea, coffee and cake or biscuits afterwards. You can download the service sheet – which contains all the latest notices as well as the liturgy and hymns for each week here.
