The Norman Crypt Hire, St Mary-le-Bow
Beneath the Great Nave, the Norman Crypt Chapel provides an atmospheric setting for a reception, book launch, lecture or discussion. Its vaulted stone ceiling gives smaller gatherings a distinct character, with capacity for up to 50 standing or in theatre layout and up to 20 for dining.
The space can also be requested alongside an event in the Great Nave. Catering and room layout can be discussed when enquiring. Access is down the white stairs in Bow Churchyard; there is no step-free route to the Crypt.
