It is currently the home of the Southbank Sinfonia. St. John's was designed and built by Thomas Archer. It was completed in 1728 and operated as a parish church for the next 200 years. It was bombed in 1942 and left in ruins until restored to its present glory in the late 1960s. Dame Joan Sutherland, Richard Bonynge performed at the inaugural concert. Since then, St. John’s has presented some of the finest classical concerts, including World Premiers by Tippet, Boulez, Birtwistle and Aaron Copeland.

Holy Trinity, Sloane Street, London, SW1X 9BZ
Holy Trinity Church Sloane Square is a London Anglican parish church situated in the heart of Chelsea. It was built between 1888-90 to a striking Arts & Crafts design by the architect John Dando Sedding, who was one of the most prolific and influential ecclesiastical architects of the time. The church’s original benefactors were the 5th Earl of Cadogan and his wife Lady Beatrix, within whose London estate it lies. Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman, named it The cathedral of the Arts & Crafts Movement and you will see many examples of art, sculpture and metal work by some of the finest artists and craftsmen of the late 19th century. The first thing that impresses visitors to Holy Trinity is the wealth of stained glass, particularly the great east window designed by Burne-Jones, the largest window William Morris & Company ever made; equally impressive are the windows by William Blake Richmond and Christopher Whall in the North and South aisles respectively. Miraculously all these windows survived the direct hit which destroyed the roof during a bombing raid in the second World War.29th December 2025
