About Venue

Located beside Hyde Park and just moments from Paddington Station, St John's Hyde Park is a striking Grade II* listed church and event venue offering an elegant setting for conferences, exhibitions, performances and private hire events. Combining magnificent Georgian architecture with contemporary event facilities, the venue provides a unique backdrop for corporate gatherings, award ceremonies, networking receptions and cultural events in Central London.

The venue centres around its impressive main church space, where soaring vaulted ceilings, original stained-glass windows and classical architectural details create an inspiring atmosphere for large-scale events. A smaller parish hall and supporting facilities offer additional flexibility for breakout sessions, catering and production requirements, allowing organisers to create bespoke event experiences within a historic setting.

Set within the peaceful Hyde Park Estate yet only minutes from London's busiest transport hubs, St John's Hyde Park offers a distinctive alternative to traditional conference venues while remaining exceptionally accessible for delegates arriving from across the UK and overseas.

The adaptable layout makes it suitable for conferences, gala dinners, concerts, exhibitions, presentations and large corporate receptions while retaining its historic character.

The Parish Hall provides a bright and versatile space for workshops, training sessions, breakout meetings, catering or smaller private events. With its own entrance and flexible layout, it complements larger events taking place within the main church building.
