The tower of Cadogan Hall

Cadogan Hall is a 900-seat concert hall on Sloane Terrace in Chelsea, London, in the United Kingdom. Previously, the building was the First Church of Christ, Scientist, completed in 1907 to designs by the architect Robert Fellowes Chisholm. By 1996, the congregations had diminished dramatically and the building fell into disuse. Mohamed Al Fayed, the owner of Harrods, had acquired the property, but Cadogan Estates Ltd (the property company owned by Earl Cadogan, whose ancestors have been the main landowners in Chelsea since the 18th century - the nearby Cadogan Square and Cadogan Place are also named after him) purchased the building in 2000.^[1]

The hall is noted for its stained glass windows

The resident music ensemble at Cadogan Hall is the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO), the first permanent home for a London orchestra. Cadogan Estates offered the RPO the use of the hall as its principal venue in late 2001.^[1] The RPO gave its first concert as the resident ensemble of Cadogan Hall in November 2004.^[2] Since 2005, Cadogan Hall has also served as the venue for The Proms' Chamber Music concerts during Monday lunchtimes.^{[3] [4]}
