The Actors' Church in Covent Garden. Not to be confused with St Paul's Cathedral! Check out their events page, couple of years ago I saw Richard III, set in the church and the churchyard, performed by the Iris Theatre. A brilliant theatrical experience! They are returning this summer (2017) with Macbeth. So looking forward to it!
