Can anyone please tell me whether the houses in Golden Square Soho London continued to be the Portuguese Embassy after 1747 and the Marques de Pombal. If it moved can you tell me where to?

For over 50 years (since I came here at least) that it is at 11 Belgrave Square, Belgravia.

"Uma igreja em Londres frequentada pelo Marquês de Pombal quando foi embaixador de Portugal no Reino Unido no século XVIII realiza uma missa especial para reatar relações com a comunidade portuguesa, revelou o sacerdote Mark Smith.
"Existe este legado histórico e queríamos recuperar as relações com Portugal, que é também o aliado mais antigo do Reino Unido", afirmou à agência Lusa.
A missa de domingo terá a presença do embaixador de Portugal no Reino Unido, João de Vallera, que associou o evento às comemorações do 10 de Junho de 2014.
A Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Assunção e São Gregório foi construída no local de uma capela católica construída nas traseiras da embaixada portuguesa no início dos anos século XVIII, quando a embaixada estava localizada na no número 24 de Golden Square.
A capela tinha sido construída quando o Marquês de Pombal foi embaixador no Reino Unido, entre 1724 e 1747, numa altura em que vigoravam leis anti-católicas que restringiam a frequência ou a construção de locais de culto.
Após a saída do local da embaixada portuguesa, a capela passou a servir o embaixador da Bavaria, mas o edifício foi muito danificado durante os motins anti-católicos de 1780, demorando quase 10 anos a ser reconstruída.
Actualmente o acesso é feito pela Warwick Street e é uma das duas igrejas londrinas que fazem parte do Ordinariato Pessoal de Nossa Senhora de Walsingham, a estrutura criada pelo Papa Bento XVI para facilitar a conversão de ex-anglicanos ao catolicismo.
"A Igreja tem um órgão e um coro profissional, sendo seguido um repertório com o melhor das duas [correntes cristãs], incluindo hinos anglicanos de John Stainer e Herbert Howells, para facilitar a transição".

I imagine this is the Embassy chapel, is it the one at the house in South Audley Street?
Google Street view is wonderful isn't it?
Thanks.

Hi Menarue

No, this is the one at the back of the house in Golden Sq. that opens onto Warwick St.
The one in South Audley St. was demolished in 1831.

Regards.

What a strange mixture, at least for me, Our Lady of the Assumption and St. Gregory. I suppose there is a logical answer to these two to be put together. There is always and explanation for everything for sure..
