Enjoy a performance of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and other masterpieces by Chopin, Debussy and Liszt, in the candlelit surroundings of St. Mary-le-Strand church.

The beautiful St. Mary-le-Strand stands opposite Somerset House and is known as the 'Jewel in the Strand'. It was once surrounded by traffic but the area has recently been pedestrianised and turned into a peaceful sanctuary of gardens, trees and pavement cafes.
