EVERY WEDNESDAY. We're not currently able to open to the public as normal each Wednesday. Head over to our Instagram or Facebook feeds midweek though and you'll find a new story, image or historical fact about the chapel to capture your imagination and keep in touch.
Discover a tranquil world of art, fashion & history
Visit, film, exhibit, wonder, marry, celebrate, record, listen, show, dine, be. The Grade II* listed Fitzrovia Chapel, once the chapel of the former Middlesex Hospital and now beautifully preserved and restored, is a stunning hidden gem in the heart of the city. Never consecrated, the nineteenth century chapel is a luminous place to have a secular wedding, display a beautiful object, steep yourself in history and architecture or just sit and reflect.

VENUE HIRE
A Gorgeous Space For All Occasions
Are you looking for the perfect space to get married, hold a talk, show your collection, launch a book or exhibit your art? The word ‘unique’ is overused.

“The most beautiful room in London you probably didn’t know about”
The Telegraph
A jewel of a building
The word ‘exquisite’ is used often at the Fitzrovia Chapel. The reason for this is because it has a breathtaking beauty that is so surprising to us, and goes beyond what we had expected – it was an exquisite place in a working hospital.
Meet the chapel team
The people behind the chapel are a dedicated group from all walks of life. What binds them together is their love of this unique space and belief in its place in the cultural life of Fitzrovia.
