The building is now also named the Methodist Church House and took up that name in 1996.

The Methodist Heritage website tells us:

The union of the three main branches of British Methodism in 1932 brought together their missionary societies into the Methodist Missionary Society, and 'Mission House' was begun as their headquarters in 1939 as a symbol of this unity in action.

However, the BBC occupied the premises until 1946. Since 1996, the building has been 'Methodist Church House' when it became the offices for the major part of the British Connexional Team.

The cornerstone is inscribed:

The Methodist Church

The foundation stone of this
Mission House was laid by
the President of Conference
the Rev W L Wardle MA DD
28th June 1939

I look upon the whole world as my parish
John Wesley

Year of construction: 1939
