Upper Holloway Baptist Church was founded by 72 members on 29 April 1868. It was the first church to be built by the newly formed London Baptist Association, one of whose main objects was the promotion of the new Church building. When Upper Holloway was chosen in 1866 as an ideal situation, where housing development was progressing fast, the members of Camden Road Baptist Church and other local churches helped in its foundation.

The Church became one of the largest Baptist churches in London with a seating capacity of 1200 and a membership of over 950. It played an important role in the religious, political and social life of North London, it ran several mission stations, including Rupert Road Mission Hall and Hercules Road Mission. It was known locally as Woods's Chapel after one of the ministers, John Roskruge Wood (Minister 1874-1912).

In 1989 the premises were pulled down and a new development on the same site is providing accommodation for elderly and frail elderly people as well as a new Church building.

Deposited by the Minister on 16 December 1987 (ACC/2541).
