Official information

The Dutch Church in Austin Friars, London, was established in 1550 for Protestant refugees from the Netherlands. It serves as a place of worship and community for the Dutch-speaking population in London, hosting various cultural and religious events.

From the Wikipedia article

The Dutch Church, Austin Friars (Dutch: Nederlandse Kerk Londen), is a reformed church in the Broad Street Ward, in the City of London. Located on the site of the 13th-century Augustinian friary, the original building granted to Protestant refugees for their church services in 1550 was destroyed during the London Blitz.

With the founding of the church dating to 1550, it is the oldest Dutch-language Protestant church in the world, and as such is known in The Netherlands as the mother church of all Dutch reformed churches.
