Description

Housed within a Grade I listed Victorian Gothic building, this active church and community venue hosts live music, comedy, and cultural events. The setting combines fantastic acoustics with an intimate layout that keeps drinks restricted to the side bar and Sunday School Hall out of respect for the church's active origins. It also houses The Margins Project, a charity supporting those facing homelessness and crisis in London, alongside a rare historic hydraulic-powered organ.
