History
All Saints Church, Gordon Street, was constructed in 1842 in response to rapid population growth in the ancient parish of Saint Pancras. The architect was Thomas Leverton Donaldson, who was a Professor of Architecture at University College (UCL). In 1909 the church was closed and in 1928 UCL converted it into a hall, called the University Memorial Hall, to remember members of the University who died during the First World War. The hall was destroyed by bombing in 1940.
