CHRIST CHURCH SPITALFIELDS 02073 776 793 | https://christchurchspitalfields.co.uk The iconic Christ Church Spitalfields has remained at the centre of Spitalfields for almost 300 years. The area has swiftly become one of London’s most popular hangouts. Steeped in history and home to Spitalfields Market and Brick Lane with Shoreditch just up the road, the local area is home to many established artists and designers showcasing the latest street art scene. The historic streets next to the Church are lined with immaculately conserved Huguenot houses often used in films and fashion shoots. This cultural tapestry is woven together by the food and drink hotspots of the area. Considered by many to be architect Nicholas Hawksmoor’s magnum opus, the venue is a beautiful example of Baroque architecture that was fully restored to its original splendour in 2004. The site is easily accessed with London Liverpool Street station just an eight-minute walk away, as well as Shoreditch High Street and Aldgate East even closer. The property offers versatile event spaces within this Baroque masterpiece. Each room is steeped in rich history and provides a blank canvas, ready for couples to add unique touches. As the central part of the Church, the magnificent Nave is a versatile space that exudes grandeur with clerestory windows, mezzanine galleries and a main hall accented with Tuscan columns. It can host celebrations with 250 people at round tables or 200 at long tables. A cornerstone of Nicholas Hawksmoor’s architectural gem, the lowerlevel Crypt was built along with the church in 1729. Contrary to what the name might suggest, this surprisingly light and airy space has been recently re-designed to incorporate the historic stone foundations of the original structure with modern oak panelling and heating. These iconic settings host weddings with 250 loved ones. https://jamesrichardphotography.co.uk 22
