Located in the heart of Covent Garden, just off the famous piazza, St Paul’s Church is one of London’s most distinctive historic buildings. Designed by the celebrated architect Inigo Jones, it is admired for its elegant classical proportions and monumental portico. The church is also widely known as the Actors’ Church, reflecting its centuries-long association with the theatrical world of London’s West End. With its distinguished architecture, theatrical heritage and varied programme of music and performance, St Paul’s Covent Garden offers a venue with a character quite unlike that of a conventional concert hall. Its combination of historic surroundings, cultural associations and intimate garden setting makes it a memorable destination in London’s West End.
