St Mary's Islington (London, Great Britain)
St Mary's Islington
Situated on Upper Street in the heart of Islington, St Mary’s Church is one of north London’s most historic parish churches. Its prominent tower and spire are familiar local landmarks, while its location near Islington Town Hall places it within a lively neighbourhood of theatres, restaurants and independent shops. Today, the church combines its long religious heritage with an active programme of music and community events. With its layered history, distinctive combination of Georgian and post-war architecture, and welcoming musical programme, St Mary’s offers an appealing setting for classical performances in north London. It remains both a working parish church and a community gathering place, bringing together heritage, worship and live music on one of Islington’s principal streets.
