About us:
Grand Junction at St Mary Magdalene’s, run by Paddington Development Trust, is a highly valued Grade 1 Listed church building. Grand Junction delivers a highly diverse cultural, heritage, and community programme, for local and London-wide audiences. Since launching in 2019, Grand Junction has produced events, concerts, tours, and talks, as well as working with a wide range of external promoters and partners.
Ten minutes’ walk from Paddington Station, the building is one of the finest neo-Gothic churches in the country. Grade 1 Listed, it was built in the 1870s by the great Victorian architect G.E Street, who orchestrated the very best artists and craftsmen of the day to produce a masterwork combining architecture, sculpture, stained glass, and a remarkable painted ceiling. It has been lovingly restored and a beautiful new building added alongside, designed by Dow Jones Architects, which provides a café, learning studio and visitor facilities.
