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.

Westminster Abbey

The Abbey choir singing in the building most of the English choral repertoire was written for.

Classical

A west tower in the last of the sun.

Also in Royal London and Power & Politics and Sacred London.

The choral foundation goes back to the fourteenth century and the choir sings services through the week. Evensong is free to attend and unticketed, and takes you into the quire without the visitor route or its charge.

A great deal of the music was composed here or for occasions held here - Purcell was organist and is buried by the organ screen, Handel's coronation anthems were written for a service in this building, and the Abbey has sung at every coronation since 1066. Concerts and organ recitals are programmed alongside the services.
