Henry Wood Hall, London

The Henry Wood Hall is a redundant church and orchestral rehearsal and recording studio in Trinity Church Square, Southwark, London, named after the conductor Sir Henry Wood. Formerly the Holy Trinity Church, it was designed in 1823–24 by Francis Octavius Bedford.^[1]

In 1970, The

London Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestras carried out an assessment of various churches in London with a view to creating a new permanent orchestral rehearsal studio in London. Following their research into disused churches, the Holy Trinity Church in Southwark

was identified and subsequently opened in 1975.

The hall was named after

Proms, after receiving a substantial donation from the Henry Wood Fund (set up to rebuild the blitzed Queen's Hall).^[2]

Visiting orchestras include the

Japan Philharmonic

which have recorded and rehearsed at the venue with many others.
