What a fantastic entry! We are so glad you choose to come here and get some rest from the bustle of City Road. The facilities are indeed wonderful and we are so glad we still have them.

What a interesting blog post. I wish I had had the chance to visit John Wesley’s chapel years ago when I visited London. A must-do for any Methodist!

Where do the women go? Did the Methodists supply such a palace for lady Methodists or were they expected to hang on until they got home?

A delightful blog today (as usual) and I learned a lot.

Never knew where ‘spend a penny’ came from–have a friend who uses that expression every time we’re in a restaurant.
(thank goodness only at the end of the meal!)

Beautiful photos.

Among my favorite public toilets for women:

Goldsmiths’ Hall, Foster Lane, London (little girls would not have the weight to make the foot-operated thingie operate)

Sander’s Theater, Harvard University (white marble and heavy chromed brass; now replaced)

Mother Church of the Christian Scientists, Massachusetts Ave., Boston – the most beautiful outer sanctum with pouffy chair, large windows, lovely green and cream paint.

I look forward to your blog each day, and it never disappoints. As a Methodist, I loved hearing about John Wesley and seeing the pictures. Once when I visited England and London, I walked to the Wesley House from my hotel, but it was closed. Now, thanks to you, I have seen inside.

So impressive. Can’t wait to ‘pay a visit’.

Thank you for another extremely interesting blog.

My 5xgreatgrandparents sheltered Wesley when he was preaching to a hostile crowd in Mevagissey, and allowed him to stay in their farmhouse. In thanks, he presented them with the silver buckles from his shoes. The buckles were kept in the family until some time in the last century, when they were presented to the City Road museum, where they are on display.

My maternal grandmother went to Sunday school at Wesley’s chapel, crossing Old Street from Shepherdess Walk to do so. The children were given a drink and a bun, which was most welcome. I think folk will be surprised when they visit the chapel how aesthetically beautiful it is, unlike typical Methodist places of worship. John Wesley is a real hero, for all times.
