Final upload from this......

Last month I finally got to visit the Fitzrovia Chapel, just to the north of Oxford St. Limited opening times on weekdays meant that I'd never quite got around to visiting this hidden gem but then an exhibition of portraits of David Bowie came along and the building has been opened at weekends.

The rather good 'David Bowie : A London Day' exhibition ( www.fitzroviachapel.org/series/david-bowie-a-london-day/ ) featuring photos by Kevin Davies finished a few days ago so now it's back to the restricted opening times.

From Wikipedia, "The building now known as the Fitzrovia Chapel was built in 1891–92 as the Middlesex Hospital Chapel. Between 1929 and 1935 the decaying 18th-century hospital building was gradually demolished and rebuilt around the chapel.

After the Middlesex Hospital was amalgamated into University College Hospital, its hospital buildings other than the chapel were completely demolished 2008–15, being replaced by a new residential development. The Grade II*-listed edifice was preserved throughout the demolition and today the chapel stands within Pearson Square, a privately owned public space named after the chapel's architect, belonging to Jones Lang LaSalle.

The chapel is noted as a fine example of Gothic Revival architecture, designed by John Loughborough Pearson in the Italian Gothic-style. The interior of the chapel features a rib vaulted ceiling richly decorated with polychrome marble and mosaics. The mosaics were completed in the 1930s by Maurice Richard Josey, assisted by his son John Leonard Josey."
