In 1822 to 1824 architect John Nash rebuilt the area around Regent's Park and Regent Street. He wished to continue Regent Street to the north but was unable to buy up the land and was forced to turn the street westwards. All Souls was constructed as a finishing feature standing at the end of Regent Street, where it turns into Portland Place. The church has an unusual design, combining a classical Greek style peristyle (porch with columns) and a Gothic spire. Nash was ridiculed for the idea by contemporaries. The church was damaged by bombing in the Second World War but was restored in 1957. The parish has been united with Saint Peter, Vere Street (P89/PET), Saint John the Evangelist, Fitzroy Square and others.
