“We had an amazing time filming in the chapel at St Mary Magdalene Church. Not only was the building beautiful and exactly what we were looking for, but the staff were so friendly and our crew felt very welcomed in the space”

The Nave makes a powerful backdrop for shoots. The ornate stonework, stained glass, and tiled floor make it one of the most unique spaces in London. With flexible seating there is huge versatility in how the space can be used.
With 14m vaulted ceilings, the Victorian nave can double as a cathedral, palace, or ballroom. The Nave’s natural light through the Victorian glass can also create the perfect conditions for fashion editorials, campaign photography and product shoots.
