Location

Edinburgh and Scottish Collection

St Stephen's Church is located in Stockbridge, roughly half a mile from Princes Street, Edinburgh. Howe Street and St Vincent Street form a steep downhill approach to the church, dramatically framing its imposing tower. The church was designed by William H. Playfair and built between 1827-28. The church, now known as the St Stephen's Centre, operates as a venue for performing arts.
