Raleigh Chapel is a functioning Victorian church in Stoke Newington, London. Our programme is guided by sound, art and faith.

Designed by architect John Sulman and consecrated in 1880, the church was originally conceived as both a chapel and civic hall. Over the following century, the building weathered continual change, sustaining bombing during the Blitz and a devastating fire in 1989 that left only the outer walls standing, their bricks still marked by smoke and flame to this day.
