Union Chapel, London

Michael Grubb Studio has been appointed by Union Chapel to design an exterior lighting scheme for its iconic London venue, which is located in the heart of Islington.

Union Chapel is an amazing space. It is an architectural treasure that’s home to a working church, an award-winning venue, a unique organ and The Margins Project for those homeless and in crisis in London.

Over the past 25 years the Chapel has gone from facing demolition to being Grade 1 listed and from being virtually abandoned to welcoming tens of thousands of visitors a year. The church hosts live music and comedy events, and was voted London’s Best Live Music Venue by readers of Time Out magazine in 2012.
