The church was really convenient in terms of location as it was near Covent Garden station. Even our guests said so. Also, we loved the acoustics of the church plus how beautiful it was inside. Thanks to Laura for being very accommodating and helping me throughout how to access the church. I highly recommend Crown Court Church of Scotland and would love to go back again in the future.
