Church of Christ Scientist - SW1

Categories: Religion

A Grade II listed building designed in the Byzantine Revival style by Robert Fellowes Chisholm. In its heyday it had congregations of up to 1400, but as attendance diminished, they moved to a smaller church and the building was closed. In 2000 it was purchased by Cadogan Estates Ltd. and following refurbishment was opened as The Cadogan Hall in June 2004. It produces an eclectic range of concerts, and is also used as a recording studio. Its stained glass was designed by a Danish nobleman, Baron Arild Rosenkrantz.
