St John’s Smith Square is a renowned concert hall located within a historic church building in Westminster, London. Originally St John the Evangelist’s Church, it was built in the early 18th century by Thomas Archer, a prominent Baroque architect. The church ceased regular worship in 1931 and was subsequently converted into a concert hall, opening in its new function in 1951.

The hall is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics and intimate setting, making it particularly well-suited for chamber music, choral performances, and solo instrumental recitals. It has hosted performances by numerous internationally acclaimed musicians throughout its history and continues to be a significant venue for classical music in London.
