St Luke's, Redcliffe Gardens, is an Anglican church in Redcliffe Gardens, bordering on Redcliffe Square, London. It was built in 1872–73 to designs by George and Henry Godwin. It has been Grade II listed since 2003.Pevsner describes it as "the last and the grandest of the three Kensington churches by the Godwins". The other two are St Mary, The Boltons (1849–50) and St Jude's, Courtfield Gardens (1870). It's chiefly remarkable for the quantity of sculptural embellishment, he says, including the celebration of Psalm 150 in the sanctuary.During the early 1950s composer Francis Routh began holding new music concerts in the church that led to the Redcliffe Festival between 1957 and 1961, and to the formation of the Redcliffe Concerts of British Music series (1963-1989).

Old Brompton Road
Old Brompton Road

Old Brompton Road is a major street in the South Kensington district of The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London. It starts from South Kensington Underground station and runs south-west, through a mainly residential area, until it reaches West Brompton and the area around Earl's Court tube station. It runs through the SW5 and SW7 postcodes. There are several 5-star hotels and upmarket shops along the road. One of the most famous auction houses in the world, Christie's, was located near the eastern end of the road at number 85. The Coleherne pub (now The Pembroke), located at number 261, has become infamous for being the stalking ground for three serial killers, Dennis Nilsen, Michael Lupo and Colin Ireland. It is also mentioned in the song 'Hanging Around' by The Stranglers, as well as in Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City book Babycakes. Another landmark of the road is the Troubadour which has been a cultural hub for over fifty years. The coffee-house above, now a restaurant, has hosted the founding of Private Eye and the writing of many books, while the club below has been a venue for Bob Dylan and Adele. The Drayton Arms is a Grade II listed pub and theatre at number 153. The most famous resident was Diana, Princess of Wales before her 1981 engagement and subsequent marriage to Charles, Prince of Wales. She shared a flat with three others before subsequently moving on to Clarence House. The road is sometimes confused with Brompton Road which lies further to the east, in Knightsbridge.
