RALEIGH CHAPEL

The Raleigh Chapel is a new gem to London’s unique venues. It has just undergone extensive, sensitive renovations and stunning interior design by Jermain Gallacher, bringing this Victorian Church back into function. The Chapel is a functioning place of worship. With progressive and contemporary minds behind the space they host a program of events guided by sound, art and faith. It is available for private hire for faith led, interfaith and nondenominational funeral ceremonies.We’re thrilled to have this on our doorstep.

A HISTORIC BUILDING WITH CONTEMPORARY DESIGN

Designed by architect John Sulman and consecrated in 1880, the church was originally conceived as both a chapel and civic hall. Over the following century, the building weathered continual change, sustaining bombing during the Blitz and a devastating fire in 1989 that left only the outer walls standing, their bricks still marked by smoke and flame to this day. Divided across two floors it boosts original Victorian brickwork, fabulous high ceilings, with a vaulted gable roof of 9m on the 1st floor.
