Lonely Planet review

A Nash solution for the curving, northern sweep of Regent St was this delightful church, which features a circular columned porch and distinctive needlelike spire, reminiscent of an ancient Greek temple. It was bombed during the Blitz and renovated in 1951, and is now one of the most distinctive churches in central London.

Built from Bath stone, the church was very unpopular when completed in 1824 - a contemporary cartoon by George Cruikshank shows Nash rather painfully impaled on the spire through the bottom with the words 'Nashional Taste!!!' below it.
