Anglican clergyman John Wesley heard the call to conversion to a new kind of religious faith in nearby Aldersgate. This statue to John Wesley stands in the northern churchyard of St Paul's Cathedral.

The statue stands on a plinth inscribed as follows:

"By Grace ye are saved through faith
JOHN WESLEY
Father of Methodism
1703-1791
Priest, Poet, Teacher of the Faith"
