Welcome to Metropolitan United, London’s new performance space jewel.
The major renovations to Metropolitan United, completed in fall 2022, are a tremendous gift to London Symphonia musicians and lovers of orchestral music alike. Enhancements to the sanctuary included a new stage that provides warmer, more reverberant sound and improved lighting to transform your concert going experience.
