Well-known evangelical church All Souls Langham Place in central London has marked 200 years since its church building was finished.

The significant anniversary was commemorated on 25 November with an afternoon tea and a historic exhibit on the Saturday, followed by a day of celebratory Sunday services. All three congregations were treated to performances by the All Souls Choir and Orchestra.

During the war, the roof of the All Souls building collapsed and the spire needed partial dismantling. It remained too unsafe to worship inside for some time and the congregation moved for the remainder of the war to St Peter’s Vere Street. The restoration was completed in 1951, shortly after John Stott became rector in 1950.
