Famous for being mentioned in the Nursery Rhyme 'Oranges and Lemons', St Leonard's Church is the ancient parish centre of Shoreditch and still stands at the junction of Old Street, Hackney Road and Shoreditch high street.

Enjoying a long history with the arts, St Leonards has the remains of several high-profile Tudor period actors resting in its vaults courtesy of strong links with the famous Elizabethan playhouses that once stood nearby.

Even today the magnificent Palladian building retains an active arts programme, and is the setting for many film previews, poetry evenings and intimate live shows.
