Wesley's Chapel is a Methodist church in London and probably the most important methodist church in the world. The museum consists of John Wesleys home, Wesley's Chapel and in the crypt, the museum. At the front of the chapel stands a bronze statue of John Wesley with the inscription with probably his most memorable quotes, "the world is my parish".

When I arrived at the museum, one of the volunteers gave a myself and other visitors a brief history of John Wesley and his brother Charles. How they came upon their idea of a better way of preaching to people and placing a greater emphasis on doing social good such as charity, providing support for those in need such as the poor and the sick. Something that doesn't sound radical now, but apparently was back then.

The Museum of Methodism, contains pamphlets, books, and other artefacts relating to Methodism, including many of Wesley's speeches and essays on theology. There's also a short video of the life of John Wesley shown on a large screen. Behind the museum, you'll also find the tomb of John Wesley, along with with those of some of his followers and sister.

A nice great place to visit whether you're a methodist or not. I'm not a methodist myself, nor religious for that matter, but I felt the museum is definitely worth visiting. I came away thinking, I'd like to go and read up more about methodism. Probably a real bucket list item for a methodist.

A must see if you are Methodist visiting in London, very educational.

Best Kids Pack we have ever had in a Museum; really helpful and friendly staff. So interesting and beautiful.

Interesting and varied range of displays. Also given a chance to tour Wesley's house and chapel. Highly recommended if you are interested in Methodism, of more general interest than might be expected. Certainly worth a visit if you are in the area.

Indeed for all Methodists this is a must visit when in London.

Wonderful small museum, stunning chapel and John Wesley's original Georgian house. Staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Great way to learn more about Methodism the Wesleys. Don't forget to check out the original Crapper toilet.

Wonderful museum. Helpful and welcoming staff.
