Appraisal

The former St. Giles (All Saints) Mission Church. Built circa 1700 but the façade was remodelled in yellow stock brick in the early 19th century. It was built for a Huguenot congregation who continued to use the chapel until 1743, when John Wesley took out a lease on the building, his first Methodist Mission in the West End of London. He is commemorated by a Blue Plaque on the front. The Mission's pulpit, used by John and Charles Wesley between 1741 and 1793, is now in the nearby church of St Giles in the Fields.

A grade II listed building of particular historic and townscape interest and townscape value contributing to the character, appearance and significance of the Seven Dials Conservation Area.
