About the Fitzrovia Chapel
The Fitzrovia Chapel is an enchanting jewel of Byzantine inspired architecture located in the heart of the Fitzrovia community. As the former chapel of the Middlesex Hospital, it is a place of meaning, memory and sanctuary for many. Today the chapel is an enriching cultural space for creative health and wellbeing.
It offers a distinctive artistic programme, supporting emerging and established artists and learning opportunities. The chapel is a space for quiet reflection, discovery and celebration, connecting a diversity of communities, visitors and partners.
A registered charity without public subsidy, the chapel’s charitable activities and preservation of the building are mostly funded through commercial hire. This includes weddings, exhibitions, book launches and shoots. The Fitzrovia Chapel is open to everyone of all faiths, beliefs, backgrounds and cultures.
The King’s Christmas Broadcast, 25 December 2024, Filmed at the Fitzrovia Chapel
We are delighted that the Fitzrovia Chapel has provided the backdrop for The King’s Christmas Message this year.
Our Director, Madeleine Boomgaarden said, ‘We are honoured and thrilled that His Majesty The King has chosen this very special place from which to deliver the Christmas Message. After it has been seen in the broadcast in countries across the world, the Chapel will bask in some limelight, and we hope this means that more people will be able to discover for themselves this beautiful space for quiet reflection, discovery and celebration. We look forward to connecting with ever more diverse communities in the coming months.’
Loved by many as an enchanting jewel of Byzantine-inspired architecture, the Chapel is located in the heart of London’s Fitzrovia community. As the former Chapel of the Middlesex Hospital, it is a place of meaning, memory and sanctuary, and today is an enriching cultural space for health and wellbeing, hosting concerts and exhibitions, free to visit and open to all (please check our website for opening days and hours which vary according to season).
