Performance venues

London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, and the rooms above pubs where things start. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.

Temple Church

The round church of the Knights Templar, with a choir of professional singers and one of the great English organs.

Also in Sacred London.

The choir here is not a parish choir; it is a professional foundation singing to cathedral standard in a twelfth-century round nave, and hearing it during a service costs nothing. Choral matins and evensong run through the legal terms.

The organ is the reason musicians make the trip. The 1927 instrument was destroyed by bombing, and the replacement - the Harrison & Harrison built for Lord Glentanar's Scottish house in 1927 and brought here in 1954 - is one of the finest of its date in the country. Concerts and organ recitals run alongside the services.
