“For he will do
As he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!”
― T.S. Eliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
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.

Lytton Strachey on Florence Nightingale

The Return of the Soldier
A solider returns home from the Great War, shell-shocked, traumatised, changed. We witness the effects on family dynamics and sense of self.

A Gorgeous Space For All Occasions

However, with its ornate Byzantine interior, soft light through stained glass windows and mosaic floors, the chapel is just that. It is a place like no other.
