This is an amalgamation of the congregations of St George in Whitechapel and St Mary-le-Savoy. The current building dates from 1974-1979 and is in the basement of the International Lutheran Studen Centre. The architect was Ekkehard Weisner of Maguire & Murray. The arched windows at pavement level form the clerestory of the church.

Russian Orthodox Church (former), Marylebone Mews/Welbeck Street, Marylebone
32 Welbeck Street was once the Russian Embassy in London and contained a chapel. In 1865 or 1872 or 1876 James Thomson added this chapel at the rear of the building facing onto the narrow Marylebone Mews. It closed in 1922 but has been restored and a prayer service was held in 2016 when Patriarch Kirill visited London.
The Archdiocesan Chapel of the Annunciation of the Mother of God (Greek Orthodox), 5, Craven Hill, Paddington W2 3ENT
This chapel is attached to the headquarters of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain a short way west of Paddington Station.
The Greek Orthodox Community of Ss. Raphael, Nicholas and Irene, Hertford Road, Enfield EN3 5JE (formerly Hertford Road Cemetery Chapel)
The small cemetery chapel in Hertford Road cemetery, just behind the churchyard of St James, Enfield Wash. Before being used by the Greek Orthodox Church it was boarded up for many years. The cemetery was opened in 1880 so it seems likely that the chapel is of the same date.
St David’s Home Chapel, Castlebar Hill, Ealing, W5 1TE
A care and rehabilitation home founded after WW1 and run by a Roman Catholic order until 2002. The chapel is just inside the gates. It was built by A.S.G. Butler in 1919
Botwell Misson Hall, Golden Crescent, Hayes (Former) now housing
This was a small mission church in the Botwell area of Hayes, which was some way from the medieval parish church. The rapid growth of Botwell rendered it too small and it was replaced by a tin tabernacle in 1913 in Hayes town centre. The current church of St Anselm which opened in 1929, then replaced that building. In 1932 Middlesex County Council adapted and extended the building as Hayes Library which closed in 2010 being replaced by a new library. The gothic windows were replaced, the bellcote removed and three bays and a new porch added at the west end.
