Fitzrovia Chapel

About

The Fitzrovia Chapel is located at Pearson Square, in London's W1 area, standing in the centre of the Fitzroy Place, a development site having boundaries with Mortimer Street, Cleveland Street, Nassau Street and Riding House Street in Fitzrovia, Westminster. Designed by John Loughborough Pearson in the Gothic Revival style with colourful interior decor using mosaics, the chapel was built between 1891 and 1892. The interior was completed 32 years after Pearson's death in 1929, the works being overseen by his son, Frank Loughborough Pearson (1864–1947). Located in the central courtyard of the former Middlesex Hospital, which was rebuilt between 1929 and 1935 and demolished between 2008 and 2015, the hospital chapel was preserved as a Grade II* listed building and renamed as the Fitzrovia Chapel.
