All Soul's Church
All Soul's Church, built by John Nash in 1822-24, has a circular portico and a tower surrounded by a ring of freestanding columns, with a slender spire which was designed to form a vertical feature closing the vista of old Regent Street with its stuccoed arcades. The prospect is now, however, destroyed by the ugly blank walls of Broadcasting House. After being damaged by bombing during the World War II, the church was restored and completely modernized internally in 1951.
