St Edmund in the City Launch Party

Tuesday 21st May 2013 saw the grand opening of St Edmund in the City, a spectacular new
events space in the heart of London.
Formerly known as The Bankers Church, St Edmund in the City is a handsome Baroque
building that has undergone various restorations after being hit by the Great Fire and the
London Blitz. The building is now set to take its place as one of Londons premium events
venues.
Situated in Lombard Street, which is one of the oldest centres of commercial activity in the
country, the church is built in Portland stone with stunning classical features including an
elegant tower and beautiful stained glass windows.
This unique space can be transformed to create an elegant space for any event and be used
for a multitude of occasions, from weddings and conferences to business meetings.
The pice de rsistance of the church is the former churchyard which is now a beautiful,
private courtyard garden that can be hired in conjunction with the main church and/or The
Vestry Hall, ideal for summer time events.
The launch party was a fantastic event and champagne and canaps were provided by one
of Londons top caterers, London Kitchen.
Guests were shown around the venue, from the Vestry Hall to the smaller meeting rooms
and the courtyard garden whilst a harpist played in the background. For a glimpse of the
party and a look at this spectacular venue watch

Venue History
Situated in Lombard Street which is one of the oldest centres of commercial activity in the
country, this stunning church has a fascinating history that can be traced back to between
900 and 1100 AD. The original medieval Church was destroyed in the devastating Great Fire
of 1666 and the faming urns on the corners of the tower are an implied reference to the
Great Fire. The present church was re-built between 1670 and 1679, with the facade
attributed to the infamous Sir Christopher Wren and the interior by Robert Hooke.
In 1917 the church was damaged by bombing from WW1, and after only being restored in
the 1930s, it again sufered severe damage from the London Blitz. St Edmund in the City
now has the unwanted privilege of being the only London church to have been damaged in
both World Wars.
