Union Chapel is a historic non-denominational church located in Islington, London. Originally built between 1877 and 1878 by architect James Cubitt, it is renowned for its striking Gothic Revival architecture and exceptional acoustics. The building features a unique internal structure – a large wooden ‘nave’ constructed without pillars, contributing to its celebrated sound quality.

Beyond its religious function, Union Chapel operates as a popular concert venue hosting diverse musical acts across genres. It has been used for recording sessions by numerous artists due to these acoustic properties; notably Paul Simon’s *Graceland* album featured recordings made within the chapel.
