Nestled within the heart of L’oscar lies The Baptist, an impressive structure steeped in history and architectural significance. Constructed in 1856, The Baptist has a
distinctive octagonal shape and boasting a glass-topped dome which was a bold departure from the conventional architectural norms of its time.
As the years passed, The Baptist continued to evolve, adapting to the needs of its growing congregation. In the late 1920s, the church underwent significant expansion. This transformation saw the addition of a mezzanine level, beneath the iconic dome. The mezzanine features hand-built elements, including exquisite hand-painted details, intricate
wood paneling, and original architectural embellishments.
The Baptist features a seamless fusion of design elements, anchored by a magnificent centerpiece: a resplendent bar, crafted from a mosaic of mirrors that dazzles in silver grandeur. Enhancing the ambiance is the signature wallpaper by Iksel Decorative Arts, showcasing the Xanadu landscape and panoramic scenes inspired by traditional Chinese motifs, imbuing the space with an aura of European elegance reminiscent of the early 18th century.
A discreet side entrance ensures convenience access for guests while maintaining the privacy of events held within. Stained-glass windows bathe the space in natural daylight, accentuating its architectural beauty. Connected by an extraordinary spiral marble staircase, both floors seamlessly intertwine, adding a touch of
splendor to the venue. The space is fully accessible, with wheelchair ramps and facilities provided. Equipped with high-quality PA systems, the venue accommodates both DJs and live music performances, offering dedicated areas for performers.
For those seeking exclusivity, L’oscar London offers the opportunity to hire both floors of The Baptist. Whether hosting a lavish wedding reception, a prestigious corporat gala, or a milestone celebration, the exclusive hire of both floors allows for endless possibilities.
