Twickenham Methodist Church, Protestant church building in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, United Kingdom.
Twickenham Methodist Church is a Protestant church on Queens Road designed in Victorian style with brick and stone construction. The building contains spaces for worship services and community activities arranged over multiple levels typical of churches from this era.
The church was built in the 1880s by architect Charles Bell as Methodist communities expanded into this area of London. After more than 130 years of serving the local community, the building closed in 2016.
This building represents how Methodist communities established their own worship spaces in suburban London during the 1800s. It served as a gathering place where local people from different backgrounds came together for both religious and social purposes.
The church sits on Queens Road in a residential area with good public transport connections nearby. Since the building is no longer in active use, visitors should check in advance whether access is possible for viewing the exterior and interior.
This was one of the first non-Anglican places of worship to be established in Twickenham when Methodist beliefs challenged the local church order. Its role as a community hall made it far more than a prayer space for local people.
