Background

History

The Space is located inside a former Presbyterian church. Dedicated to St. Paul, this was built in 1859 for the Scottish Presbyterian congregation who had migrated to the Isle of Dogs to work in the shipyards. It was designed by Thomas Knightley. It was taken over by the St Paul's Arts Trust, headed by Robert Richardson, in 1989, and was restored and reopened in 1996.
