Since its establishment in 1891, the Fitzrovia Chapel has been a central landmark in Fitzrovia, central London. Initially serving as the chapel for the Middlesex Hospital, it now stands as an independent entity. Following the hospital’s closure, the chapel was reopened in 2015 as a heritage site and a charity dedicated to the arts and community engagement.
The chapel was never formally consecrated or dedicated as a religious building according to English law.
Originally, the chapel served as a sanctuary for reflection and quiet contemplation for both the staff and patients of the Middlesex Hospital.
Nowadays, the chapel plays an increasingly significant role within the community and the arts, continuing its legacy as a haven for contemplation and reflection.
