Finsbury Chapel, Presbyterian church in Islington, London, England
The Finsbury Chapel stands on East Street with its main entrance adorned by classical columns and detailed stone carvings.
Built in 1826 by architect Thomas Barber, the chapel served as a central place of worship for the Scottish Presbyterian community in London.
The chapel established itself as a gathering place where both local residents and visitors participated in religious ceremonies and community events.
The former location of the chapel can be reached via the Northern Line to Old Street station, followed by a short walk east.
Minister Alexander Fletcher initiated the construction of this chapel, which required an investment of £10,000 in early 19th century currency.
