About this space

Commissioned in the early 18th century; Hawksmoor’s breathtaking masterpiece is a celebrated historic building and a truly inspiring venue.

As the central part of the church, the magnificent Nave is a versatile event space that exudes grandeur with clerestory windows, mezzanine galleries and a central hall accented with Tuscan columns.

Given its spectacular beauty and central London location, Christ Church is perfect for dinners, concerts, filming locations and receptions.
