About this space

St Mary-le-Bow is an iconic City church with a collection of spaces that can work together for smaller or larger events, from conferences and receptions to concerts and weddings.

Design: The Great Nave is the centrepiece, with an open floor, high ceilings and generous natural light. The Wren Vestry and Vestibule provide additional space alongside it, while the Crypt offers a smaller, more atmospheric setting below.

Features: The Great Nave accommodates up to 300 guests and can be arranged in different layouts. The Vestry can be used for meetings or breakouts, with the Vestibule available for registration and arrivals. Step-free access (excluding the Crypt) and accessible toilets are available. There is also a restaurant and wine bar on site, which may be able to provide food and drink depending on your event and requirements.

Ideal for: Conferences, presentations, receptions and networking, concerts and weddings.

What sets it apart: From the Great Nave and historic Crypt to the sound of the Bow Bells above, the building gives you several very different spaces within one of the City’s best-known churches.
