Distinctive spaces of national cultural importance or more prosaic amenities, our venues meet a range of needs.
And, each venue hire supports the works of St James’s in the community
St James’s is an atmospheric location for filming, certainly. But we’re equally experienced at meeting other important needs for film and television production, from functioning as catering and breakaway spaces to accommodating equipment and vehicles unable to be left on crowded West End streets for the duration of a shoot.
St James’s provides perfect settings for corporate and private events, whether a glamourous sit-down dinner in the church or a relaxed summer garden party. Perhaps you need to run a product launch, fashion showroom, networking event or private Food & Drink tasting. We have various venues to suit your needs.
An established concert venue, the church’s unique acoustics, space for up to 60 musicians and a seated capacity of 450 means it frequently stages world-class music. We also have a Fazioli grand piano, up-to-date sound system and full live-streaming rig.
St James’s has functional spaces for launches, talks, conferences and meetings. These include the smaller Blake Room for intimate meetings and a larger multi-use space that can accommodate up to 60 attendees in an auditorium arrangement.
As a church, weddings, memorials and baptisms are part of our purpose. And, we can work with you to make your occasion special —perhaps welcoming drinks for your wedding guests in the garden or courtyard—so let us know your needs.
