Celebrate your special day at our spectacular Grand 1 listed venue, Grand Junction at St Mary Magdalene’s.
St Mary Magdalene’s is a uniquely ornate and architecturally significant Grade 1 Listed Victorian church, completed in 1878. It was designed by G.E. Street, who also designed the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand, with the painted ceiling and stained glass created by some of the finest craftsmen of the day. Grand Junction is the extension designed by award-winning architects Dow Jones, completed in 2019, which brings modern facilities and positions this stunning historic building as a perfect venue for important and memorable celebrations. We can accommodate between 80 and 230 guests.
A stone’s throw from Paddington Station and a short journey from central London, our canal-side location is easy for you and your guests to reach.
Our experienced team look forward to working with you to support each step of planning your wedding. When you book Grand Junction, the venue becomes exclusively yours. We realise a venue is not the only thing you need for a successful celebration, and your Event Manager will work with you to coordinate the elements that will make your day special.

UNDERCROFT
The Undercroft is the crypt space of the church. It provides an atmospheric space for a pre-dinner drinks reception or dancing later in the evening. It is also frequently used as an additional preparation space for caterers to ensure that food can be prepared and served quickly and efficiently.
- Capacity: Up to 180 guests standing, 110 guests can be seated for a banquet or dinner on round tables, or up to 130 guests for a standing buffet.
THE CHAPEL
An extraordinary gem nestled below the church, the intricate and highly decorated Neo-Gothic chapel is included. Used extensively for filming, from Les Miserables to Clara Amfo’s BBC Proms interview with Florence and the Machine, it is the perfect location for photos of the bride and groom.
