Monday 16 December | The chapel will be open for our Wedding Open House by Candlelight between 4pm and 7pm. You don't need an appointment and can just come along.
Discover Sanctuary
Visit, relax, exhibit, wonder, marry, celebrate, record, listen, show, be. The Grade II*-listed Fitzrovia Chapel, once the chapel of the former Middlesex Hospital and now beautifully preserved and restored, is a stunning hidden gem in the heart of the city. No longer a religious space, the nineteenth century chapel, a charitable foundation, is a luminous place to get married, display a beautiful object, steep yourself in history and architecture or just sit and reflect.
Thank you to everyone who applied for our Curator-in-Residence role. We’ve had so many applications that we unfortunately can’t reply individually. We will be contacting shortlisted candidates shortly.

VENUE HIRE
A Gorgeous Space for all Occasions
Are you looking for the perfect space to get married, hold a talk, show your collection, launch a book, showcase a community project or exhibit your art? The word ‘unique’ is overused. However, with its ornate Byzantine interior, soft light through stained glass windows and mosaic floors, the chapel is just that. It is a place like no other.
