The Museum of Methodism tells the story of Methodism from John Wesley to the present day, and its part in shaping Britain's political and social history. Next door stands John Wesley's House, his home for over a decade and one of the finest surviving small Georgian townhouses in London, accessible on request via a Heritage Steward. You can also explore Wesley's Chapel, his first purpose-built 18th-century chapel in London. It's a good fit for schools, families and anyone curious about Methodist heritage. The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10.30am to 4pm. Located in Islington, it's just 0.1 miles from Old Street station, with 773 bookable places to stay nearby on BritStays for those planning a longer visit.
