This church was built in 1724 as part of a royal initiative to create new places of worship across London during a period of urban growth. The design reflected contemporary architectural thinking about how religious buildings should serve expanding urban communities.
This place holds deep meaning for the local community as a space for worship and gathering that has served generations of parishioners. The interior remains a working church where regular services and celebrations bring people together around shared traditions.
The location is easy to reach in Mayfair by public transport or on foot, with the surrounding area offering shopping and dining options. Visitors should check opening times before arriving and be aware that services and special events may limit public access at certain times.
