For any information on the life of the church or specific events within it, please tel 020 7654 3809 or e-mail methodistchurch@virgin.net.   Which famous preachers have preached here? Because the Hall is also the venue for meetings held by other denominations, other preachers have been here, possibly the most famous speaker at a secular meeting was Mahatma Gandhi in 1931.
