Completed in 1731, Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair is a handsome building in an illustrious neighbourhood. You might recognise it from the silver screen, where it stars as the wedding venue for Keira Knightley and Chiwetel Ejiofor in the Christmas classic Love Actually. The church is designed in a classical fashion, and was built by Benjamin Timbrell, a prosperous local builder. Once the initial 99 year lease on the building expired in 1829, the Grosvenor Chapel Act 1831 brought the chapel within the parochial system as a chapel of ease to St George's, Hanover Square. The church has an elegant interior, with a large organ and many small details befitting a Georgian church, including a beautiful ceramic Virgin and Child. Join us at this magnificent church on Tuesday 10 December at 7pm for our annual Carols by Candlelight concert.
