Our Lady of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church, Catholic church in Westminster, England.

The church on Warwick Street features red brick exterior walls and retains original Georgian interior decorations from its late 18th-century construction period.

Built between 1789 and 1790 by architect Joseph Bonomi the Elder, this structure replaced a chapel destroyed during the Gordon Riots of 1780.

The building served as the Royal Bavarian Chapel and remains the only surviving eighteenth-century Catholic chapel in London, earning Grade II* listed status.

The church operates under the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, providing regular Catholic services and maintaining traditional worship practices.

Queen Mary visited this church regularly during the 1936 abdication crisis, leaving fresh flowers each week until her death.
