A RESIDENCE
STEEPED IN HERITAGE
Located in the historic Mission Hall, Brackenbury Village, Hammersmith, the building has been a pillar of the local community since 1894, playing host to a church, school, kitchen, workers club and most recently, artist studio to the iconic drape designer John Campbell. After years of closure, the building has now been restored to its former glory, as a hub of creative combustion within the Brackenbury community.

Sunday
School
The building was first constructed in 1883-4 on a site given by the Bishop of London. By 1894, it had become a space for community projects for the ministry of St John the Evangelist Church, primarily as a Sunday School for the local children.
Church and
Parish
Community affectation for the space grew, and before long the Mission Hall had its own ministry established and thriving, primarily comprising the residents of the surrounding streets.
Workers
Club
Eventually, following the roaring 20s, early depression of the 30s, and onset of WWII, the space evolved again to further meet the needs of the community and a workers club serving pints to the residents emerged.
Community
Kitchen
Throughout the first half of the 20th century the congregation brought numerous social initiatives into the space, most notably a community kitchen, precisely located where our kitchen sits today.
John Campbell
Studio
By the 1960’s London was being reinvigorated as a cultural force. John Campbell - a local artist, set up shop constructing tapestry’s and scenic backdrops, for West End plays and musicals.
Missionworks creation
Since John’s departure in 2014, the building sat abandoned, awaiting its latest change. Today the Hall is a Grade II heritage listed site, and in 2019 work began to convert it into office space.

What our members say:
"It's a truly unique space, with an appealing values-led approach and philosophy that really comes through in the vibe of the workspace and the great like-minded and interesting people it attracts. It's a relaxed and calming, yet energising and motivating environment full of light, plants, open space, and amazing comfortable spaces to work and break out in. It's been the ideal place to start my own business. Love it!"
