About Venue

Located in the heart of Peckham in South London, Asylum Chapel is one of the capital's most unique and atmospheric event venues. This Grade II listed Georgian chapel, originally built in 1826, has been carefully preserved following wartime bomb damage, creating an extraordinary setting where historic architecture and beautifully weathered interiors provide an unforgettable backdrop for corporate events, exhibitions, product launches, filming and private hire.

Retaining its original stained-glass windows, exposed plasterwork and distressed walls, the chapel offers a striking blank canvas that has become one of London's most sought-after heritage venues for creative events. Its dramatic interior requires very little dressing, making it particularly popular with brands, photographers, production companies and organisations looking for a venue with genuine character.

Situated within the historic Caroline Gardens estate in Peckham, the venue combines a peaceful setting with excellent access into Central London, providing a distinctive alternative to conventional event spaces.
