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.
What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance
A working Congregational church, a homeless drop-in and one of the best-sounding rooms in London, in that order.
ClassicalWorth it for the building
James Cubitt built it in 1877 on an octagonal plan so that every one of its 1,200 seats could see the preacher, which turns out to be exactly what you want from a music venue too. The Henry Willis organ of 1877 is still in place and still played.
It never stopped being a church. A congregation meets on Sundays, the Margins Project runs a drop-in for homeless and vulnerably housed people from the same building through the week, and the money the concerts make pays for it. Audiences sit in the original pews, which are as uncomfortable as they look.
