John Wesley is an important figure in British History, aguably one of those who shaped modern British culture. His house is preserved here and his grave is also on site. The chapel is a thriving church with a number of points of interest for the visitor. The Museumof Methodism contains a mixed collection of exhibits relating to Wesley’s life and the Methodist Church. It is not really designed as a coherent museum, rather it is a collection of separate exhibits but a redesign is in prospect so it will doubtless get better. There is plenty of interesting material here. A bit off the regular tourist trail, this medium sized museum is worth a visit. Religion has shaped us as a nation and here is some of that story.

This has been a regular stop off point every Wednesday for the best part of 10 years for various daughters attending brownies and guides. The building is tucked off city road it houses the museum of Methodism, a chapel and John Wesley’s rather stunning Georgian town house. Across the road from Bunhill cemetery worth combining if you are visiting followed by coffee at Ozone Roasters up the road. Various groups use the hall rainbows, brownies and then guides run from 6 if you have daughters looking for a nre interestthe summer camps are great!

Writing a review of a Chapel is not something i can really review, i mean i dont know what makes a good chapel or not! but … There is a hidden secret in this place and its one of the first public toilets. Beneath the Wesley Chapel in City Road, is one of the best and earliest examples of a Thomas Crapper toilet. It is complete with cedar wood seats and enclosures, it has remained virtually intact since the late eighteen hundreds. So if you fancy a bit of London history with a difference then this is a great place to start.
