Enjoy an evening of classical guitar favourites played by the renowned virtuoso Amanda Cook, in the beautiful candlelit setting of St. Mary-le-Strand.

The 18th-century church 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.
