About this space

ONE VENUE. TWO SPACES. ONE UNFORGETTABLE EVENT.

Where extraordinary architecture meets extraordinary experiences.

In the heart of vibrant Spitalfields, Nicholas Hawksmoor’s iconic 18th-century masterpiece offers one of London’s most spectacular event settings.

With soaring ceilings, magnificent columns and beautiful natural light, the Nave provides an unforgettable backdrop for gala dinners, awards ceremonies, corporate receptions, conferences, fashion shows, brand activations, product launches, exhibitions, filming and weddings.

For events that deserve something more, the beautifully reimagined Crypt offers an exciting second dimension — perfect for pre-event receptions, breakout sessions, private dining and after-parties. Combining historic grandeur with contemporary versatility, Christ Church Spitalfields invites you to create an experience that moves effortlessly between two extraordinary spaces.

One Venue. Two Spaces. One Unforgettable Event.
