What a venue! And the staff couldn’t have helped more. I went to watch Sivu and the place is in the centre of London but you can’t tell once you’re in there. Amazing venue for a concertVisited onWeekdayWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedYes
This location should be on every London tour guide. There is a wealth of culture to be explored in a very small area of London, from Pop Culture, Feminism, Architecture, Social Reform, English Literature to Early English History. Pop Culture, the church doorway and the drinking fountain sadly no longer in use are two of the locations of Don McCullin's photos of The Beatles on what was described as a mad day out. This was to promote The White Album and the single Hey Jude. Feminism, this was the original location of Mary Wollstonecroft, author of A Vindication of the Rights of Women. Her tomb is located just to the left of the John Soames Mausoleum. It was here that Mart Shelley Frankenstein met Percy Bysshe Shelley. Architecture: The Soames Mausoleum, designed by Sir John Soames for his wife and later himself, is here. This Mausoleum is also credited as the inspiration for the original Red telephone boxes designed by Gile Gilbert Scott, the son of the architect who designed The Albert Memorial and very much a leader in Gothic Revival. Social Reform, as you enter the church grounds through the main gates on Pancras Road, there is a truly inspiring sundial, monument erected by Angel Burdett- Coutts, 1st Baroness Burdett Couts, a social reformer who aimed to eradicate London's slums. The Memorial commemorates many foreign dignitaries and aristocrats who were buried in the churchyard. It was one of a few churches who allowed Catholics to be buried in the churchyard. English Literature, the church is mentioned in Charles Dickins book A Tale of Two Cities and it was also the location of the Thomas Hardy Tree. Thomas Hardy before becoming a full time writer worked for the architectural firm of Arthur Bromfield. Sadly the tree has gone. It fell ? in December 2022 but the multiple gravestones which were relocated here by Thomas Hardy due to the railway can still be viewed. Finally the site is said to be one of the oldest places in the UK for Christian worship. There are claims to the site being used from the 4th Century AD but the church which we see today was heavily reworked in the Victiorian era. All this is barely a 5 minute walk from St Pancras International or a similar distance from Coal Drops Yeard. So take a look #thomashardy #thebeatles #charlesdickens #donmccullin #frankenstein #sirjohnsoames
Went to a concert in the evening here and what a great little venue it was. Intimate setting for a small concert. We could purchase some drinks refreshments and there was a toilet in the building and one provided outside but I did not see this one.Visited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedYes
In all honesty, I expected this church yard to be a little more cared for and better presented. It was overgrown, strewn with litter, someone with a big dog roaming free and a lot of evidence of disrepair and neglect. Inside the church was nice, but the grounds were disappointing. Considering the profile of some of the monuments and points of interest, you would think they would care to present them for visitors, rather than just leave them to decay.
Such a brilliant venue for intimate gigs. Great acoustics. Dimmed lights. Gorgeous décor & architecture inside and outside. Fantastic atmosphere… left this place feeling very happy  Loved a wonder around the church yard before the gig. A true gem at the heart of the city.
It’s a tricky balance to be a functioning church, historical, and with such an unusual graveyard that it attracts tourists. But this church seems to manage it all. The gardens/graveyard are worthy of a visit in their own right and in the middle sits this seemingly small, unassuming church. Well a beautiful and unusual one, especially for central London - more like a village church vibe. It’s actually part of a wider group of churches that work together and are quite active in the local community. It’s also well known as a music venue. It may be somber when you visit but see the clergy dancing down the front with the congregation to get a sense of the life that inhabits this sacred space. You can see some evidence of this in the pictures on the posterboards as you come in - but I know it’s true directly from having worked on a previous iteration of their combined website. When you walk in, there are displays on the left with a wooden spiral staircase heading up the tower. More info and a few items to purchase are on the other side. There was also quite a lot of beer the day we visited - presumably a party is planned! Going into the church, it’s quiet and prayerful with candles. The sun motif above the altar strikes as unusual. A mini chapel to the right adds to the solemnity. Take a look around as everything has a ‘been here for a while’ quality feel. The wooden bell-like structure over the font; the surprise that a small church has a full organ over the entrance lobby; and how comparatively big it feels inside. We only popped in for 10 minutes, the kids took a seat and wondered about the prayer cushions and decor. It’s definitely worth a look in, or at least through the glass doors. The attending volunteer was really helpful and kind too.
A really calm and peaceful place with greenery all around. The church is small, but very beautiful and quiet. One can hear the chirping of birds inside from the courtyard.
Amazing. Everything was amazing. What an experience. So intimate and cozy.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Visited St Pancras old church Jan 2020 When we learned of the Hardy Tree's existence we just had to find it and we did. The bonus was discovering this lovely little church just up the road away from the hustle and bustle of St. Pancras station. The Hardy Tree is well worth a look. The tree has indeed grown around all the gravestones and although fenced off there is ample opportunity for some great photographs. The little church is a work in progress and volunteers help maintain its pristine look. It's quite sparse inside with no great trappings of visible wealth but the simplistic decor only adds to the tranquil ambience and it was nice just to relax there for a short time. Well worth a visit and The Hardy Tree is the icing on the the cake
Mainly visited as my great grandad was christened here but it was a beautifully calm spot in a busy city. I spent some time in prayer in the church and lit a candle before exploring the grounds. Well worth the visit.
