In Stratford, with roots dating back to the 12th century, West Ham Church is available for hire.

Within the church’s vast and lofty nave, graceful Gothic arches rise like prayers in stone. They reach upward, embracing the light that pours through stained glass windows. The acoustics, pure and resonant, cradle music with reverence. Beyond its doors, the churchyard unfurls like a green breath amid East London’s restless rhythm.

All for those in search of a sacred place to exchange vows, a majestic backdrop for film and photography, or a gathering space rich with history and warmth.

We welcome enquiries from individuals, organisations, and creative professionals.
