Westminster Meeting House

Westminster Quaker Meeting House is a place of worship of the Religious Society of Friends located behind 52 St Martin's Lane in Covent Garden, London WC2.

[1] The philosopher Bertrand Russell and the activist Alys Pearsall Smith married in the meeting house in 1894.

In Russell's autobiography he relates that the guests at the wedding seemed moved to preach about the Miracle at Cana which offended his bride's teetotal sensibility.

[2] The artist Richard Morris Smith made a drawing of their wedding and a photograph of the drawing was donated to the National Portrait Gallery by Barbara Halpern in 1999.

[1] Meetings for worship are held on Sundays from 11am to 12pm; on the first Tuesday of each month from 1 to 1:30pm and on Wednesdays from 6:15 to 7pm.
