London’s original LGBT+ community chamber choir presented a magnificent uplifting Christmas concert on Saturday 13 December 2025 at recently refurbished St John’s Waterloo, Waterloo Road, London SE1 8TY, featuring a beautiful setting of Psalm 42 by Marianna Martines, plus works by Felix Mendelssohn, Anton Bruckner, and Kenneth Leighton. We were joined by guest soloists and instrumentalists for a joyous evening including music from ABBA, the Wizard of Oz, and a few favourite carols.
Grade II* St John’s is one of the most beautiful and flexible historic venues on the South Bank, and has recently been transformed by a £5.5m restoration. St John’s is a magnificent place of worship and one of the best performance, event and meeting spaces on the South Bank.
