Grosvenor Chapel, Mayfair, Anglican church in Mayfair, England.
Grosvenor Chapel is an Anglican church in Mayfair with a rectangular floor plan, arched windows, and classical Georgian design. Its interior features refined woodwork and liturgical fittings that give the space its distinctive character throughout.
Sir Richard Grosvenor laid the foundation stone in 1730, and the chapel opened in 1731 under builder Benjamin Timbrell. In the early 20th century, architect Ninian Comper made significant Anglo-Catholic alterations between 1912 and 1913.
The chapel served as a refuge for American servicemen during World War II and later drew writers like Rose Macaulay and Poet Laureate John Betjeman to worship here. These connections remain part of the place's identity and its role in the local community today.
The chapel is easy to explore on foot and works well for a weekday visit. Lunchtime concerts happen on Tuesdays at 1:10 PM, offering a calm cultural moment in the middle of the neighborhood.
The chapel preserves rare elements from different periods that show how its liturgical use has changed over time. These layers of change make it a living example of how Anglican church practice has evolved.
