Grand Junction at St Mary Magdelene's is a uniquely ornate and architecturally significant Grade 1 listed Victorian church, located in the City of Westminster borough, in London Paddington.

The church was designed by G.E. Street, who designed the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand, with the painted ceiling and stained glass by some of the finest craftsmen of the day, that was eye-catching enough to be featured in the 2012 film Les Miserables. An extension by award-winning architects Dow Jones, completed in 2019, brings modern facilities and positions this stunning historic building as a perfect venue for important and memorable celebrations.

A stone’s throw from Paddington Station, Warwick Avenue Station, Royal Oak Station, and a short journey from central London, our canal-side location is easy for your guests to reach.

Simply Stunning!

We had the best day! After much venue searching we came across the gem that is Grand Junction. We were close to giving up hope of having a grand venue for our wedding with the budget we had. Grand Junction and the Bovingdons team to the rescue!! The church building made a stunning setting for our big day, now we have had the photos through they look amazing! The team at Bovingdons took care of every little detail and the food and service was impeccable. We had a truly magical day and all of our friends and family have commented on how great the venue, food and service was. Massive thanks to the team at Bovingdons and Grand Junction, you made our big day so special and we will always be grateful!

Truly a spectacular day!!

We had our wedding here Last year in November. The team were absolutely fantastic in the preparations- we felt in very safe hands. Emails were answered in record speed, even when the questions ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous. The events team were brilliant in using their knowledge of weddings and the venue to guide timings and logistics, but also open to any requests we had. The food was really very good quality (to point where guests commented!)

An incredible wedding

Start to finish it was great. From the site visit, planning and the day itself. I wish I could do it again!

Wonderful wedding day by the canal

My wedding day at Grand Junction in October 2019 was dreamy. It was a sunny autumn day and Theo and Chloe looked after me and my party so well. The day went by just as planned and I was stunned at how the place was transformed for our wedding breakfast, and the Nave is certainly the best spot for dancing. We're known to be wild ones and the acoustics were perfect. I'm so thankful to the team and their effort in planning and delivering my dream wedding, and in addition the food served was better than the tasting - they outdid themselves.
