The history of the Cadogan Hall

Cadogan Hall was originally built in 1907 as a New Christian Science Church, designed in a Byzantine Revival style by architect Robert Fellowes Chisholm. After being acquired by Cadogan Estate in 2000, the building underwent a major refurbishment and reopened as a concert hall in 2004.

Since then, it has become a cultural cornerstone of West London. The hall now hosts over 300 events annually and has welcomed artists and ensembles from across the globe, while maintaining close ties with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and BBC Radio 3.
