The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Fitzrovia, England
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

1. All Saints Margaret Street

5.0 based on 38 reviews
Two minutes from Oxford Circus, All Saints Margaret Street has been serving God and people in the heart of London for over 160 years: its ministry of worship and prayer, pastoral care and spiritual counsel, preaching and teaching; and its glorious building - a priceless hidden gem worth taking a short detour to see while visiting central London. We very much hope that you will come and visit us - we are generally open seven days a week from 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday - so you can pop in to pray; light a candle or attend one of the three daily Masses (8am, 1.10pm and 6.30pm). Special arrangements apply on Saturday - when we open at 11am - and Bank Holidays when only the lunchtime 12 noon Mass takes place).

Gorgeous church, well worth a visit. I can understand why Christians would wish to express compassion for the homeless and give them shelter, but don't let them live in the church. The pope welcomes the homeless into Vatican City, feeds them, shelters them etc, but not in St.Peters. Hey, wait, on second thought, in the spirit of trendy, liberal thinking, the focus of Christians SHOULD be on the poor, right? So beautiful churches and artwork and sacred vessels that give glory to God, feed our souls, connect us to God and the saints via our senses and connect us to our ancestors or shared, collective cultural past are meaningless and should be sold with the money used for the poor. Got that All Saints? Put your money where your sermon is (this is irony, folks) or at least house those men in the parsonage or the homes of parishioners.
2. Fitzrovia Chapel

Visit, film, exhibit, wonder, marry, celebrate, record, listen, show, dine, be. The Grade II* listed Fitzrovia Chapel, once the chapel of the former Middlesex Hospital and now beautifully preserved and restored, is a stunning hidden gem in the heart of the city. Never consecrated, the nineteenth century chapel is a luminous place to have a secular wedding, display a beautiful object, steep yourself in history and architecture or just sit and reflect.

A hidden gem, now linked to a modern development and with a relaively plain exterior, the highly decorated Byzantine Fitzrovia Chapel, designed by John Loughborough Pearson and his son Frank, originally the Chapel of the Middlesex Hospital is well worth finding, though check the days when it is open The interior architecture is quite astonishing and this week is also home to an exhibition of scorched wood sculptures by leading contemporary artists and designers, curated by Sarah Myerscroft, the dark sculptures contrasting with the gold and marble decoration of the chapel. Not to be missed....

I had been meaning to visit for some time, but had to see the Bauhaus exhibition as a fan of the movement. A very small exhibit but interesting to see how Bauhaus influenced british buildings. Excellent book shop for architecture fans.

I visited the tower as a child in the 60s, for meetings regularly in the 90s and more recently for open house and private visits. This visit was in July 2019. The lift is fast and fun to travel in multiple times. The staircase is also very good and if you ge a change to visit some offices take the opportunity. The revolving platform is the best bit. I miss it being a restaurant open to the public but it is still a great space. When I visited there was gin, wine tastings and an excellent buffet meal. I was there from mid afternoon until sunset. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I even had the chance to press the button that makes it rotate!

This church is very beautiful, historical & yet incredibly modern. The teaching is excellent as is the welcome you receive when entering the large building. The atmosphere is electrifying and I was amazed by the beautiful décor and upkeep of the historical building. The services are perfect for the whole family. Worth visiting.

London's Oxford Street spells action where you can shop 'til you drop along England's most famous shopping street, drop into one of the many pubs for a tasty ale or catch the latest musical at the theater.

Oxford Street is connected to Regent Street, Old Bond Street and New Bond Street and if you are a shopaholic, then this is your place to be. Oxford Street starts at the southern end of Tottenham Court Road and you work your way westward to Marble Arch by walking and looking in the various types of shops along the way including department stores.. If you like walking, shopping and eating out - then this is the place for you.....make sure you wear a strong pair of walking shoes. Not for the faint hearted.
