About this space

--LATE EXTENSIONS AVAILABLE--

The Nave is a fantastic multi-purpose space that can be used for dinners, meetings, conference spaces, workshops, talks as well as parties, concerts and music events.

The space provides a unique setting, a combination of the original church structure framed by modern glass and white walls. Its high ceilings, original arches, a stained-glass window and fascinating history provide a wonderful atmosphere. Though fairly large, the space has a cosy feeling, suitable for smaller groups. Adjacent to the nave is the annex which is a perfect break out space, reception or refreshments area.

The space is equipped with a lectern, uplighters, flip charts and an upright piano. It benefits from fast WIFI, a Bose professional sound-system, an HD laser projector and wireless microphones.

Shame the weather was not great it meant wr started later so couldn’t fully enjoy the building but wow it was as a special Treat hosting a prayer event in an original church building with so much history

The venue was absolutely perfect for my birthday party. So unique! The whole process was very smooth from start to finish and I’m so grateful to have been allowed to rent such an amazing space. Would really recommend this to anyone.

Amazing venue in a prime Central London location. In particular I would like to thank Nelson who works at the venue and offered to help us with setting our event. He was always available for any questions we had and made sure to let us know any vital info. Sound system is great and lighting easy to use so create a good ambience very easily

In the Nave there are only 2 toilets and when the venue is full there can sometimes be queues for the toilets

St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace is just a beautiful intimate space with endless potential. I booked the venue for my wife's 30th birthday and from consultation to the event day, the staff were very pleasant to communicate with and were always happy to help. A big thank you to Nelson who was on hand for anything we needed on the day and kept checking on us through the event. Wish I could give this venue more than 5 stars, I would.


The location is a stunning venue situated near Liverpool Street. It provides a fantastic combination of intimacy and grandeur with original 14th-century arches providing the backdrop to the main space. Destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1993, it has been rebuilt with modern features and offers a unique and memorable space for any event. It is equipped with fast WiFi and has an in-house projector and sound system available in the main space.

The Bedouin Tent is a circular space, ideal for meetings and away-days, intimate gatherings and workshops, while the Nave offers a spectacular space for larger events.

This is a place like no other!
