Our next visit is to the Union Chapel in Islington. It is a nineteenth century Gothic revival Congregational Chapel, which is used as a music venue as well as being a functioning place of worship.
The address is 19b Compton Terrace, N1 2UN. Compton Terrace runs parallel with Upper Street separated by a strip of community garden. The nearest tube and overground station is Highbury and Islington and numerous buses run along Upper Street including the 4, 19, 30 and 43.
The Chapel staff are expecting us but the Chapel has proved difficult to access in the past, as it is short staffed and generally not open to the public in the working day. We meet at 11 am, Janet's number for the day is 07815 772857 and Sue's is 07975 864142, so do call if you can't find us. If you can be there on time this would probably help, as we may have to go in through the back.
There is a community garden outside which is open to all and a good fall back if we find it difficult to get into the Chapel. We will update nearer the time. Upper Street is also full of people, activity and buildings!
During the summer we increased the numbers of outings to take advantage of the good weather and the easing of Covid restrictions. With the onset of Autumn we aim to seek out more covered but not enclosed venues and to go out once a month on a Tuesday.
