Christmas at LSO St Luke's
Nestling on the edges of the City and Shoreditch is the stunning LSO St Luke’s, home to the London Symphony Orchestra’s pioneering music education
programme. Set back from the bustling street, this historic building’s imposing white walls conceal one of London’s finest event spaces.
On arrival, guests will approach a magnificent entrance beneath the
impressively-lit Hawksmoor spire then continue into the beautiful Jerwood Hall, in which the commanding architecture will be enhanced with careful, sensitive
lighting. Relaxing music will filter around the room and – most importantly – guests will be greeted by friendly waiting staff offering a perfectly chilled drink
to start the night.
As the reception draws to a close, it’s time to dine – either a tempting selection of signature canapés and bowl food or a more formal seated dinner with beautiful linens and creative table centres. And when guests finish eating
they’re invited to party as the DJ picks up the tempo.
A stunning venue, innovative food and a stylish party; A classic Christmas at LSO St Luke’s.
