St Martin's Church was built to serve the new and growing population developing in West London as a result of the extension of the Piccadilly Line westwards during the latter part of the 19th century. The church was consecrated on St Martin's Day, 11th November 1906 by Bishop Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram, Bishop of London from 1902 to 1938. During the 1930s, vestries were added to the building, and during the 1960s a hall and church flat were added.
