Visit, film, exhibit, wonder, marry, celebrate, record, listen, show, be.

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. 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. And in these challenging times, we want to reassure you that if coronavirus restrictions prevent your wedding or other event from going ahead as planned, we will help you to reschedule your chapel hire at no extra cost. That’s a promise. We’re on your side.

Chapel news
“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.
