What our building users say

  • It was perfect in terms of location, capacity, facilities and price and was by far our best attended conference to date.

    We held our annual conference at Westbourne Grove Church Venue Space. It was perfect in terms of location, capacity, facilities and price and was by far our best-attended conference to date. The Venue team couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Thank you all so much.

    Chair of BAFTS Fair Trade Network UK

  • There is a difference between providing a service and being of service.

    Hosting our club at Westbourne Grove Church all these years has surpassed our expectations and it has allowed us to be of service to this community.

    Nelio Rodrigues, Grove Capoeira (Capoeira for children)

  • We feel so fortunate to be able to enjoy the wonderful facilities that Westbourne Grove Church has to offer.

    The room that we use for our classes is beautiful - not only is it an incredibly large space but it is also very stylish and light with gorgeous wooden floors and a window along one side looking out onto greenery. The reception area and toilets are always spotlessly clean. Charlotte and her team are extremely efficient and run the whole thing meticulously. They are also always so warm and welcoming as well as being extraordinarily helpful, going the extra mile to ensure that our classes are able to run smoothly whilst we are in their care.

    A fabulous venue run by a fabulous team!

    VD, The Ballet School

  • Westbourne Grove Church are true local heroes.

    Many people know of their work supporting the local homeless community. Less well-known is their long-term support of diverse local mutual aid groups. They are all wonderful people who are much loved by local residents, regardless of age, race, sexual identity, creed or religion.
