The Church of the Holy Trinity was built of Portland stone between 1909 and 1911 in an Edwardian Baroque [1] style to a design by John Belcher and John James Joass. [2] The facade was modelled on S. Maria della Pace in Rome by Pietro da Cortona. [3] The interior was not completely finished due to a lack of money [4] and a proposed tower was never built.
The church was originally a chapel of ease able to seat 1000. [5] It replaced the original Little Queen Street Chapel (1829–31) whose foundations had been weakened during the construction of the Piccadilly line [3] and which was demolished in 1909. [1]
The building was listed grade II by English Heritage in 1974. [4]
The church was closed by 1991. The rear was redeveloped into offices around 1999 with the listed front retained. [6] It was renamed Aviation House. Previous tenants have included Government Digital Service. The offices are now home to a WeWork coworking space.
