About Venue

Located in the heart of Spitalfields between Liverpool Street and Shoreditch, Christ Church Spitalfields is one of London's most iconic Grade I listed event venues. Designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor and completed in 1729, the magnificent Baroque church combines breathtaking architecture with flexible contemporary event facilities, creating an extraordinary setting for conferences, gala dinners, receptions, product launches and exclusive corporate events.

The venue offers a collection of distinctive event spaces centred around the spectacular Nave and the beautifully restored Crypt, providing a unique balance of historic grandeur and modern event infrastructure. High ceilings, dramatic columns, original architectural features and integrated production capabilities create an unforgettable backdrop for events ranging from intimate dinners to large-scale receptions for up to 600 guests.

Situated just a short walk from Liverpool Street Station in one of East London's most vibrant districts, Christ Church Spitalfields offers exceptional accessibility alongside one of the capital's most recognisable historic settings.

Event Spaces

The versatile blank-canvas interior can be transformed for gala dinners, conferences, awards ceremonies, fashion events, concerts and large drinks receptions, creating a spectacular setting beneath one of London's finest historic interiors.

The Crypt

Beneath the church lies the beautifully restored Crypt, a contemporary event space that combines historic stone foundations with modern oak panelling and underfloor heating. Featuring its own bar and flexible layouts, the Crypt provides an excellent setting for private dining, networking events, receptions, exhibitions and evening celebrations, either independently or alongside events in the Nave.
