Burton Street Hall
 

History

It was built in 1811 as a church hall for the Particular Baptists

It was also used by Robert Owen in the 1820s and 1830s; his London Co-Operative Society held its inaugural meeting there in 1824

After 1837 it was used by the Swedenborgians, until it became St Pancras Free Church in 1949 (this was free in a financial rather than theological sense, and owned by the parish church of St Pancras itself)

It was demolished in 1927
