Our venue was changed at the very last minute due to unforeseen circumstances, but this simply proved the excellence of the staff at Spitalfields venue. They changed our location over to the Crypt, without any hesitation and catered for our every need. I'm planning on coming back to host an event at the beautiful Hanbury Hall, I can't wait to work with the Spitalfields Venue team again!

The venue is beautiful. The space was perfect for our event. The staff was really helpfull and guests had a good time.

The venue wasn't empty at the discussed time. We had to wait for almost an hour which made setting up for our event very stressful. Photos on tag venue are a bit misleading as it looks like it is in the church but it is a separate location a few 100 meters away

About Christ Church Spitalfields

Rich history, baroque architecture, and blank canvas event spaces; Christ Church Spitalfields offers all the ingredients for a high-profile event at an iconic London landmark.

Completed in 1729 and designed by leading architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, this magnificently restored baroque masterpiece offers you the best of both worlds - historic architecture and grand interiors, with modern facilities and production capabilities.

Both our spaces come with in-house AV and have wheelchair access.

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 main hall accented with Tuscan columns.

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

Ideal for: Dinners, weddings, Christmas, large drinks receptions, conferences

THE CRYPT
A cornerstone of Nicholas Hawksmoor’s architectural gem, the lower-level Crypt was built along with the church in 1729.

Contrary to what the name might suggest, this surprisingly light and airy space has been recently re-designed to incorporate the historic stone foundations of the original structure with modern light oak panelling and heating.

With soundproof folding walls, it can be used as one large reception space or split into two compact conference rooms.

Ideal for: in conjunction with the Nave for after dinner DJ and dancing, after-dinner receptions, meetings.
