Our Lady of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church
Our Lady of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church, Catholic church in Westminster, England.
Our Lady of the Assumption is a Catholic church on Warwick Street in Westminster featuring red brick walls and retaining Georgian decorative details from its late 18th-century origins. The interior layout and ornamentation reflect the classical style typical of that period.
Built between 1789 and 1790 by architect Joseph Bonomi the Elder, the church replaced a chapel destroyed during the Gordon Riots of 1780. It stands as the only surviving Catholic chapel from that century in London.
The chapel once served royalty and continues to welcome those seeking traditional Catholic worship in the heart of London. Visitors can experience how the space maintains its historical role as a place of prayer and ceremony.
The church is open to visitors and operates as an active worship space under the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. It is best to check opening times beforehand and be respectful of any services taking place.
Queen Mary visited the church regularly during the 1936 abdication crisis, bringing fresh flowers each week until her death. This quiet habit became a moving reminder of her personal faith during that tumultuous period.
