Historique
The church of Saint Luke, Old Street, was one of the last to be built under the 1711 "Act for the building of Fifty New Churches in the Cities of London and Westminster or the Suburbs thereof" to be paid for by a tax levied on coal entering the City of London. It was designed by the Church Commissioner's surveyors, Nicholas Hawksmoor and John James, 1727-1733: the spire is in the shape of a fluted obelisk. The parish was formed from Saint Giles, Cripplegate in 1733 and is now again part of Saint Giles.
After the amalgamation of the parish with Saint Giles, the building was left unused for 30 years. It has now been restored with Lottery funding and is known as LSO Saint Luke's - the London Symphony Orchestra's Music Education Centre.
