A plant from St Mary, Bryanston Square which had been worshipping in a pentecostal Ethiopean church along the road. They have recently acquired and adapted a building of 1923, which was the Luciana Temperance Billiard Hall with a shop underneath, into a multi-purpose space (worship area on the 1st floor, offices and meeting rooms). Its last use was as The Poor School, a drama school that opened in 1986 and closed in July 2018.

It was moved in 1994 to be next to new buildings from 1991-1993. It is richly decorated with marble, alabaster, wall paintings and stained glass by Clayton & Bell, all combine to create a stunning miniature church. It cannot be seen from outside the hospital but is behind and to the left of the main reception.
