Soho Baptist Chapel (detail)

Soho Baptist Chapel is a church at 166a Shaftesbury Avenue, London, on the corner with Mercer Street. It was originally a Baptist church, which relocated to North Finchley and is now called High Road Baptist Church. The church is now the Chinese Church in London.

History

The church was built in 1887–88 to a design by the architect William Gillbee Scott for a Strict Baptist church community that had been formed in 1791. In 1916–17, it was sold to another Strict Baptist church, after their 99-year lease on a chapel in Gower Street came to an end, and became the Gower Street Memorial Chapel.

It is now the Chinese Church in London, Soho Outreach Centre.
