St John's, Smith Square, Concert hall in City of Westminster, United Kingdom
St John's Smith Square features four corner towers and substantial pediments within its English Baroque architectural design constructed of Portland stone blocks.
The building opened in 1713 as one of fifty new churches and suffered severe damage during World War II before reopening as a concert hall in 1969.
The venue presents chamber music performances, orchestral concerts, and choral events throughout the year, featuring both international artists and local musicians.
The concert hall contains a restaurant in the crypt where visitors can enjoy meals before performances, with access through spiral staircases.
The Sainsbury Organ, installed in 1993, produces rich musical tones that complement the space's natural acoustics during classical music concerts.
