Hotels near Cadogan Hall

Cadogan Hall opened its doors on 18th June 2004 with a surprising lack of fanfare but is making up for that with a year of 10th anniversary celebrations in 2014. The former Church of Christ Scientist is home to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the least elitist of London's major orchestras. The sheer walls and steep barrelled roof of the 965-seat auditorium give it a great acoustic: crisp, clear and VERY loud. Originally constructed in 1901, this is a lovely example of the Byzantine style of church-building, with a gorgeous Art Deco interior, that puts the bleak modernism of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's former South Bank home to shame. Alongside the smaller Wigmore Hall, this has a claim to be London's most attractive dedicated classical music venue.
