- Het orgel in Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church werd gebouwd in 1914 door de firma Brindley & Foster, waarbij men gebruik maakte van ouder materiaal, afkomstig van het vorige orgel van de kerk. In 1964 is het instrument herbouwd door Hill, Norman & Beard en in 1989/1990 door John Males. Omdat het orgel pijpwerk van veel verschillende bouwers en periode's bevatte, was het resultaat niet bevredigend.
- In 2006 kon men pijpwerk kopen van de firma Binns, afkomstig van het orgel van Beechen Grove Baptist Church in Watford, die afgebroken werd. Daarna werd nog meer pijpwerk van Binns gekocht, van het orgel van Saint Augustine’s Church, Tonge Moor. De firma Shepherd & Son bouwde het orgel geheel nieuw op met het pijpwerk van Binns. In 2008 is het instrument in gebruik genomen.
