The chapel was built for a Huguenot congregation who has previously worshipped in Newport Market. They took possession of the building in  1700 and  continued to use the chapel until 1743, when John Wesley took out a lease on the building. On Trinity Sunday of that year Wesley recorded in his JournalI began officiating at the chapel in West Street, near the Seven Dials, of which, by a strange chain of providences, we have a lease for seven years.
