The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Primrose Hill was opened on 28 April 1867 and the first surviving register dates from October 1868.

In the summer of 1870 arrangements were being made for the construction of a new church. Money was raised by voluntary subscriptions, aided by Eton College, the London Diocesan Church Building Society and the Church Extension Society. The site, on the junction of King Henry's Road, Primrose Hill Road and Elsworthy Road, was owned by Eton College but an agreement was reached whereby the site and church would be conveyed to the Church Commissioners when completed. The church was erected in 1872 and consecrated on 2 May 1885. On 28 August 1885 the church was assisgned its own district: previously it had fallen within the parish of St Saviour, South Hampstead.

During the construction of the church, the London and North Western Railway Company began tunnelling work under the north west corner of the church, causing damage to the building. The subsequent dispute generated much correspondence.

In August 1856 the parish of St Mary the Virgin, Primrose Hill was united with the parish of St Paul, Avenue Road. The Church of St Mary the Virgin became the parish church of the united parish.
