Tucked away between Fleet Street and the River Thames, within the historic Temple precinct, Temple Church is one of London’s most remarkable medieval buildings. Surrounded by quiet courtyards, gardens and centuries-old legal institutions, it offers a striking contrast to the busy streets of the City. Built by the Knights Templar, the church is closely associated with the history of the Crusades, the development of English law and the origins of the Magna Carta tradition. With its extraordinary medieval architecture, Templar heritage and distinguished musical tradition, Temple Church offers an atmospheric setting for concerts in the heart of historic London. Its intimate scale, remarkable acoustics and secluded location make it particularly memorable for choral and organ performances.
