All Souls Church, Langham Street. All Souls Church is an Anglican Evangelical church in central London, situated in Marylebone at the north end of Regent Street, next to BBC Broadcasting House. As well as the core church membership, many hundreds of visitors come to All Souls, bringing the average number of those coming through the doors for Services on Sundays to around 2, 500 every week. All Souls has an international congregation, with all ages represented. Designed by John Nash, favourite architect of King George IV, the church was consecrated in 1824 by the Bishop of London. At the time, Nash was also developing Regent's Park and Regent Street, and he designed All Souls with its circular columned portico to soften the awkward corner to join the existing Portland Place. The church is built of Bath stone and the unique spire is made of seventeen concave sides encircled by Corinthian columns, making two separate sections. The capitals are Ionic in design and made from Coade stone. The winged heads of the cherubs are unusual and based on a design by Michaelangelo. All Souls is unique in being the last surviving church by John Nash. The building was completed in December 1823 at a final cost of £18, 323-10s-5d
