All London's live music

Beginning in 1868, our church was built on a parcel of land sold by the Holland Estate, with the requirement that it must be made of good stone, not brick which was the norm. One of its jewels is the tiny Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. For much of the history of St John’s the existence of this chapel was a carefully guarded secret, because reserving the blessed sacrament was not allowed within the Church of England.

In 2015 the church was granted Grade 1 status by English Heritage, making it officially a church “of exceptional interest and outstanding importance”.
