Our Venue

Leatherhead Methodist Church

Music on Thursdays chamber concerts take place in Leatherhead Methodist Church. 

LMC has a pleasing acoustic for chamber music. The Church houses a fine 1970s Schiedmayer studio grand piano which was donated anonymously and is now maintained by Steinway-trained tuner and technician Tim Hendy.

LMC has level access throughout. It is easy to accommodate a wheelchair -
we just whip out a chair and you can sit with the friends you came with.
Location: LMC is close to Leatherhead town centre, in the one-way section of Church Road, but it has only limited disabled parking on-site.

The Church is a 5-7 minute walk from:
  • the main 465/478/479 bus stops in North Street
  • Swan Centre / Sainsburys' multi-storey car park KT22 8AH, and
  • 12-15 minutes from Leatherhead Rail Station
Vertical Divider
The nearest car park is along Church Road, behind the Parish Church Hall KT22 8BD - a minute's stroll from LMC - unfortunately, it is often full !

The map below shows LMC's location on Church Road, and the nearby car parks. (click on the map to expand it)
