Royal Festival Hall, London

Astonishingly (apart from The Royal Albert Hall) this is the only organ in London that isn't in a church, cathedral or other religious building.

As an organ-playing atheist (am I the only one?) I am very pleased by this news!

I am also an atheist, but a church organist never the less.

An atheist friend of mine says, "Atheism is a non-prophet organization." Maybe ...? :roll: :shock: 8)

Just to be pedantic (sorry!), what about Maida Vale, Alexandra Palace, Buckingham Palace Ballroom, Guildhall School of Music, etc ?
