All Saints' Church, Margaret Street, is a significant example of Gothic Revival architecture in London, England. Designed by William Butterfield and largely completed by 1852, it was sponsored by the Ecclesiological Society. The church is notable for its "structural polychromy," featuring bands of black and red brickwork, and its interiors are richly decorated with marble and tiles. This architectural style became fashionable during the late Victorian period. The church is located in the City of Westminster and is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site that also includes Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament.12
