The Willesden Green Primitive Methodist chapel in the picture was opened in the High Road, Willesden Green by 1897. The church was rebuilt in 1904 but closed in 1963.
The 1883 Primitive Methodist magazine contains a note of the opening of a new Primitive Methodist chapel in Willesden Green, described as as a rapidly growing visit just out of London. The chapel was an iron one “in a good situation.” Kilburn station had missioned the area three years previously.
Willesden Green Primitive Methodist chapel was one of the chapels used when the Primitive Methodist Conference came to London in 1908.
Thanks to Matt Davis for identifying where the chapel is located: see the comment below. .

It is located at 51.547216, -0.234042 on the south side of the High Road (A407) opposite Villiers Road. Based on the 1908 photograph, the chapel has seen little outward change. It was axquired by the New Testament Church of God, a Pentecostal denomination, and re-registered by them on 5 November 1964. By my calculations that makes it the third oldest NTCoG church that is still in its original building, and the second oldest chapel conversion.
