St Luke's Church, Berwick Street

[1] The Church Building Commissioners were consulted about a proposal to erect a new chapel elsewhere, since by 1833 the district was judged to be no longer respectable.

The new church, designed by Edward Blore and dedicated to St Luke, was consecrated on 23 July 1839.

The district became in 1935 part of the neighbouring parish of St Anne; the church was demolished the following year.

His biographer Ernest Pearce (1912) describes that "he was appointed to the vicarage of St Luke, Berwick Street, a poor parish close to Seven Dials, which had recently been visited by cholera.

Festing increased his reputation here for pastoral diligence, and on 19 May 1878 John Jackson, bishop of London, collated him to the important vicarage of Christ Church, Albany Street".
