St Alban's Church, Teddington, Former church and concert hall in Teddington, England
St Alban's Church is a former place of worship and current arts venue in Teddington featuring French Gothic architecture with limestone walls. Inside, carved oak details, stained glass windows, and an ornate pulpit with gilded angels create a distinctive interior space.
The building was designed by architect William Niven in 1889 and later received Grade II* listed status. This recognition reflects its architectural importance and value as a protected historical structure.
The space now serves as an arts center hosting exhibitions, concerts, and educational programs that bring the community together regularly. Local visitors come here to experience contemporary art and live performances within the historic walls.
The arts center is open during weekdays for visitors to explore the architectural features and attend various events and exhibitions. It is helpful to check opening times in advance to make the most of your visit.
The building was used as a filming location for A-ha's music video "The Sun Always Shines on TV" in 1985 when it sat empty and unused. This unexpected artistic use during a quiet period gave the space a unique place in pop culture history.
