The Church would like the Centre to be used for the benefit of all people in the locality and the premises have been designed primarily to provide meeting space for different community groups serving the public, as well as for other worthwhile activities. There are two main spaces for hire: A large hall with adjoining kitchen A quieter upper room suitable for groups of 15 or less Please note that private, social events will not normally be considered. There is no special facility for parking. The New Church Rooms St. Mary's New Church, Spensley Walk opposite Clissold Park off Stoke Newington Church Street. The rooms are up the rectory drive.
