Church Building for Concerts, Events, or Filming

About the Space

The present church, the fourth on this site, was completed in 1729 to the designs of James Gould, under the supervision of George Dance. It is aisled and galleried in the classic style, and is unique among the City churches in having its tower at the East End. The Church can be used as a large capacity venue for concerts or filming. The Church is situated in Bishopsgate and has a beautifully planted garden, this was the first of the City burial grounds to be converted into a public garden. At the time, the transformation caused much opposition, but today it is a much appreciated space by the many who find it a tranquil place to sit, or by the more athletic who use the adjoining netball and tennis court to let off steam. Also in the church garden is St. Botolph’s Hall, once used as an infants’ school, but now a multipurpose venue that is available for hire for a great many different uses.
