St Michael and All Angels began as a temporary building on Chiswick High Road opposite Chiswick Lane, some distance from its present site, in 1876.
The present church at the corner of Turnham Green Terrace and Bath Road, near Turnham Green tube station, was designed by the architect Norman Shaw.
He was the Estate Architect for Bedford Park, designing some of its earliest houses in red brick and white-painted woodwork, known as Queen Anne revival style.
Although this style was considered novel but not particularly ecclesiastical by the architect G. E. Street at the time, Shaw decided to use a similar style for the church.
The red bricks, as used for Bedford Park houses, were made locally.

The architectural writer James Stevens Curl describes the style as "Perpendicular Gothic with seventeenth- and eighteenth-century domestic features".
He also notes that the wooden features of the church were originally painted pale green.
The foundation stone was laid on 31 May 1879.
The church was consecrated on 17 April 1880.
A churchwarden of St Nicholas Church, Chiswick, the brewer Henry Smith of Chiswick's Fuller Smith & Turner objected in writing to the Bishop of London, raising controversy about the high Anglo-Catholic form of service used in the church.
The poet and writer on English architecture John Betjeman called it "a very lovely church and a fine example of Norman Shaw's work."
In 1887 Shaw's vision for an additional North aisle was realised by the church's first churchwarden, the architect Maurice Bingham Adams.
At the same time he added the church hall on the north side, its red brick harmonising with the church, the font, and the pulpit.
Adams added the Chapel of All Souls in a more Gothic style than the rest of the church in 1909.
