St Stephen Walbrook – A Place of Celebration

Nestled in the heart of the City of London, just steps away from Bank Station, the Church of St Stephen Walbrook is a hidden gem offering a breathtaking event space steeped in history and architectural brilliance. This iconic London venue has been a place of celebration since Roman times, with its current structure masterfully rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren following the Great Fire of London. In more recent times, it is also the birthplace of the Samaritans, founded by Rev. Chad Varah.

Today, St Stephen Walbrook continues to unite the community of the Square Mile through regular events, including weekly congregations and services, concerts, recitals, as well as exclusive venue hire opportunities.

Architectural Brilliance Meets Versatile Venue Hire

The venue’s neoclassical architecture and awe-inspiring domed ceiling, praised as the “pride of English architecture” by Sir John Summerson, create an extraordinary backdrop for your most memorable events. With its soaring columns and light and airy atmosphere, St Stephen Walbrook lends itself perfectly to elegant events centred around the central altar. At the heart of the space stands a travertine marble altar sculpted by Henry Moore, surrounded by a flexible layout with removable circular pews, ideal for intimate events and grand occasions.

In 2024 and at the start of 2025, the venue has undergone a huge restoration and renovation project with the interior now offering a stunning blend of heritage and modernity, perfect for all types of event hire.
