Soho Baptist Chapel, Baptist church on Shaftesbury Avenue, London, England

The red brick Victorian chapel stands on the corner of Shaftesbury Avenue and Mercer Street, featuring tall windows and architectural elements from the 1880s.

The chapel was built between 1887 and 1888 by architect William Gillbee Scott for a Baptist congregation that traced its origins to 1791.

The building now serves as the Chinese Church in London's Soho Outreach Centre, reflecting the neighborhood's demographic changes since the early 2000s.

The church holds regular services in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English languages, while offering English classes and youth activities for the community.

The structure maintains its Grade II listed status while adapting to serve a new generation of worshippers from East Asian backgrounds.
