St. Paul's, Covent Garden, also known as the Actor's Church, is a church in Westminster, London, United Kingdom. It was associated with London's theatre scene since the Theatre Royal was built on Drury Lane in 1663.
History
St. Paul's was originally a chapel built between 1631 and 1633 after the Protestant Reformation. The commissioner Earl of Bedford requested that the architect Inigo Jones that the chapel be "not much better than a barn", to which Jones supposedly replied, "Then you shall have the handsomest barn in England."[1]
