Crown Court Church, Presbyterian church building in Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom
Crown Court Church is a Presbyterian place of worship located in Covent Garden with traditional Scottish ecclesiastical design. The building displays a simple stone exterior with refined architectural details and occupies a position on Russell Street near the bustling market area.
Founded in 1711, this building was the first Church of Scotland structure built in England. A major reconstruction took place in 1909, reshaping the structure to its current appearance.
The church serves as a place of worship for the Scottish community in London and reflects their religious identity through the services held here. You can experience how this space maintains connections to Scottish traditions within the heart of the English capital.
The building sits in the heart of Covent Garden and is easy to reach on foot while exploring the market area. Access is usually available during service times, so it helps to check when the doors are open before visiting.
Inside, a dedicated four-part choir rehearses weekly and enriches the services with their performances. These singers represent an overlooked musical tradition that connects the congregation to its Scottish roots.
