On this very spot, before the sleek modern facade of Fulham Broadway Methodist Church graced this site, there stood an iron chapel. You might be surprised to know that this previous structure, erected in 1881, only lasted a mere eleven years before the congregation sought a more permanent home. In 1891, plans were set in motion for a grand new church. This time, no flimsy iron structure would do. The foundation stone for a magnificent edifice was laid, designed by the esteemed architect Fred Boreham. It was from these ambitious beginnings that the Fulham Broadway Methodist Church, as we know it today, eventually rose. Sadly, that beautiful church, completed in 1892, also met its demise. It served the community faithfully for many years but was eventually demolished in 1965. The congregation then merged with the nearby Walham Grove Methodist Church while they awaited the construction of a new spiritual home. That new church, opened in 1971, was once again christened Fulham Broadway Methodist Church. But even this iteration was not to last. As the landscape of Fulham continued to evolve, so too did the church. With the redevelopment of the Fulham Broadway area in 2001, the present Fulham Broadway Methodist Church, the one standing before you now, was built on the same sacred ground. Opened in 2003, it stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of faith and the ever-changing face of London.
