St Matthew, Great Peter Street, Westminster
A large church by George Gilbert Scott of 1849-51, but reconstructed in much smaller form, following a fire in 1982-84 by Donald Buttress. The main remains are the tower and chancel and part of the nave. Access is restricted outside services to the tower and some extensions on the side of the church which house an altarpiece and some of the Stations of the Cross.
St Mark (Former), North Audley Street, Mayfair now Mercato Mayfair
By J.P. Gandy Deering and dating from 1824-28. It closed as an Anglican church in 1974 and was until recently, an events venue called Number One Mayfair (last two images). Currently (2020) the building has been restored and it is a food market and court called Mercato Mayfair. There are community facilities underneath. Much of the interior dates from a reconstruction by Arthur Blomfield in 1878. A war memorial chapel was added at the northeast in 1921.
