Grosvenor Chapel is a popular venue for concerts and charity events in the heart of central London. The Chapel is available for hire to groups looking for a central London venue, with easy access to all transport and parking. With a capacity of up to 400 people, but an environment that happily accomodates 50.

Our acoustics and facilities make us an attractive venue to many musical groups' needs. The hire fee includes use of a good grand piano and one of London's best organs.  A two stop transposing portable continuo organ is also available for an extra fee.

Music

The acoustic in the Chapel is considered particularly good by all the performers.

We have a Weinbach grand piano which, although only 5'8", gives a wonderful sound because of the excellent acoustic. We do advise people wishing to use the piano that it might require tuning. We are happy to provide the number of a reputable piano tuner.

The Chapel's organ is highly acclaimed; it was built by William Drake 1991 in the 18th c. English style in the original case of 1732.

Our performance area can accommodate a choir of 40-45 or a small orchestra.

We have a professional choir consisting of 5 singers. Our Director of Music, Richard Hobson is also our regular organist.

For audio and video recordings of concerts to take place special authorisation from the chapel office must be sought at the time of booking.

Capacity

The downstairs capacity is 250, and upstairs we can accommodate a further 150 (with restricted views).

 

We have a fully equipped kitchen at the back of the Chapel which can be used for making hot drinks or warming food. You may also wish to hire our newly renovated rooms and patio to offer a reception after your event.

There are three lavatories, including a disabled facility.

Alcoholic drinks can be served but in order to serve/sell alcohol a Temporary Events Licence must be applied for. For details on this simple process please speak to the Administrator (see below).
