In 1662, Henry Jermyn, 1st Earl of St Albans, was granted land for residential development on what was then the outskirts of London. He set aside land for the building of a parish church and churchyard on the south side of what is now Piccadilly. The church was designed and built by Sir Christopher Wren and consecrated in 1684. The building was severely damaged by bombing during WW2 and was subsequently restored.
