St Paul’s Church Covent Garden

I wanted to cool down from the noisy carnival atmosphere of Covent Garden. Behind the square where the jugglers performed, I saw the church. It was truly a hidden gem. The church has a blooming and very beautiful garden, with roses and other flowers. Many benches along the paths in the yard. In the garden itself there are many chairs for self use. The interior of the church is impressive and full of majesty. The organ is very large, and pleasant to hear when playing it.A great place to sit and reflect, think, and meditate.Whoever knowp the garden, brings a drink or something small to eat. Enjoying all the beauty and silence of the place. From advertisements on the church fence, I understood that various events are held here. I will try to reach one of them.

We were passing through London in December 2022 and decided to visit Covent Garden. As we passed by the church, the garden with the benches caught our attention and we decided to go inside. We listened to the Christmas choir rehearsal which was one of the most magical moments of my life. I wish I could have stayed there longer, but our stay in the city was very short. Now my dream is to return to this beautiful church and watch the choir perform in December ❤️

What an amazing place. A total oasis in the madness of central London, and so welcoming. Their pledge, clearly displayed at the door, is to be welcoming to everyone. Was in today as build crew for a play; will be back for a service when I can.

Very peaceful. Lots of benches outside to have a break from the hustle and bustle.Inside, a veritable who's who of performing arts stars memorialised, Diana Rigg's brought a tear to my eye.Lovely people when I stopped by, very friendly and welcoming.

A quiet space in which to enjoy a break. Don't take a whole bench to yourself,.share it with others.Some history...The Artists' Church, also known as St. Paul's Church, Covent Garden, is a historic church located in the Covent Garden area of London.1. **History:** St. Paul's Church was designed by architect Inigo Jones and consecrated in 1633.

While visiting Covent Garden on our anniversary last December, providence led us to a candlelight concert given by the Icon Strings quartet. We were beckoned by the flickering glow in the church windows, and ventured through the arched gate and cobblestone courtyard to the church entrance. To our delight, we were warmly greeted and ushered inside, without tickets, and asked instead to place a donation in the church box, which we did gladly.The experience was magical and emotional for my husband and I, and we will never forget it.

An interesting church in Covent Garden. It has it's own garden and memorial plaques to many famous actors, and is nicknamed The Actor's Church"."

The actors church. Small but very nice inside. Plain on the exterior of the building but lovely jubilee garden.

We really enjoyed the candle light concert by Icon Strings Quartet.

Nice church. Actors church. Interesting to see plaques dedicated to actors like Boris Karloff, Diana Riggs, Charlie Chaplin, and others.
