About
Grand Junction is joined to the site of St Mary Magdalene church, Paddington. Having just undergone a £6m renovation, the venue is sparkling new with all the mod-cons, whilst retaining its visually stunning 19th century architecture.
Grand Junction was originally designed by architect George Edmund Street in 1867. In the 1960s the community surrounding the church was moved on after the Second World War bombings. Throughout the 21st century the church has been lovingly restored and regenerated after years of being derelict. Today you will see the love and the dedication poured into this building, which is present in every glorious nook and cranny, making it ideal for a romantic wedding reception.
