Wesley Chapel London England


Wesley Chapel, London
The Wesley Chapel and Leysian Mission are located at 49 City Road in London. It's close to the Old Street Underground Station.

The chapel was built by John Wesley in 1778. The original pillars donated by George III were replaced on the 100th anniversary of Wesley's death in 1891.

Following repairs, the chapel was reopened 1 November 1978 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

In 1989, the nearby Leysian Mission joined with the chapel. The mission opened in 1875 as a school. The mission began in 1886 and was led by former students concerned about the poor conditions for people in East London.

As of October 2019, there was no charge for admission.

John Wesley's house is next to the chapel and is a museum. The house is an example of a small Georgian house.

The photos are from inside the Wesley townhouse. The house was his residence for 12 winters. In the summers he was out on horseback visiting Methodist societies and preaching.
