Cadogan Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cadogan Hall is a 900-seat concert hall on Sloane Terrace in Chelsea, London, in the United Kingdom. Its resident orchestra is the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Previously, the building was the First Church of Christ, Scientist completed in 1907. By 1996 the congregations had diminished dramatically and the building fell into disuse. Cadogan Estates Ltd (the property company owned by Earl Cadogan, whose ancestors have been the main landowners in Chelsea since the 18th century - the nearby Cadogan Square and Cadogan Place are also named after him) purchased the building in 2000 to safeguard its future and have since brought the former church back into useful life.
