Tickets Alert: Watch films in a restored chapel
Following a lengthy restoration, the Grade II listed Oxford House in Bethnal Green, London will be open to the public for a series of film screenings in its attic Chapel and Theatre.
The 135-year-old venue, with its beautiful gothic and Neo-Jacobean features, was the first “settlement house”, where students from Keble College Oxford could undertake residential volunteering and learn about crippling urban poverty.
This fantastic building was at risk of being lost, but through work supported by Historic England it has been rescued and re-purposed as a community arts centre. Film-goers will also have the opportunity to explore the rest of the building on guided tours.
Tickets go on sale at 9am on Monday 17th June – and can be booked here.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
