Wesley's Chapel and Leysian Mission

This is a great place to visit when exploring London. John Wesley house is also open arms has some culturally and religiously interesting items and settings to see. The chapel is exceptionally beautiful with glass paintings and wooden decor. The museum has various historically valuable and significant inhibits as well as video presentation. All in all a great experience.

If you visit London this is a "must see" place! Especially if you are a Christian there is so much to learn from the pioneer of Methodism, John Wesley.
We were really privileged to be invited on a tour with a guide, a lovely lady who works in this place without whom the visit would be very short and poor.
But her knowledge about history and the person of John Wesley brought many things to life.
The house where Wesley lived in the last years of his life is so rich in history not just church or Methodist history but the English way of life during those years.
So even for those studying history this is a place to visit because it has many things to learn from.
John Wesley is one of the heroes of Christian faith and his life of dedication is an example for many. He lived on 20 % of his income and gave 80% for the Kingdom of God. Not many live by these standards today.They find it difficult to give the tenth to God!
His life of prayer and study is an excellent example what humble dedication to God can achieve.
I havent put many photos so that you get encouraged to visit.Make sure you ask for a guide. It will be much more interesting to you with someone explaining places around.
The museum of Methodism is near by so be prepared for a few hours in this place. There is a graveyard opposite the Wesley house.Some famous people were burried there including John Bunyan (Author of Pilgrim's progress- one of the classics of English literature)
I truly recommend this place...I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...

Magic place. John Wesley was a brave preacher of the gospel who had a life change experience with God!

We did not plan to visit but stumbled across this place on a wet and windy afternoon. Kate, a volunteer here welcomed us in and was more than happy to share her encyclopaedic knowledge of the chapel, and its history. None of us were religious people but we still thoroughly enjoyed our very educational visit and came away with a deep respect for John Wesley and the Methodist ethos. This isn't just a place for methodists to visit and they do really welcome everyone. Highly recommend spending an hour or so here if you are in the area.

A fine old Methodist church, named after the most famous of preachers, John Wesley, who is interred on the site
The church itself reminds me of a Synagogue, with the upstairs pews .
More interesting for me is the memorial to the fallen Wesleyans of both World Wars

Was Christened here in the early Sixties, so, for me, this is always a stop off when I'm back in my home town of London.
An oasis of calm in what is now, a very hectic and noisy London!
Recommended 💯 percent!

Went in to the church took some lovely photos and one of a ghost too
