Christ Church, Anglican church in Blackfriars Road, London Borough of Southwark, England.
Christ Church sits on the west side of Blackfriars Road and features a modern 1958 structure with large stained glass windows and memorial objects throughout. The interior contains artistic elements and commemorative pieces that tell the story of the site.
The original church was established in 1671 and rebuilt in 1741 in Italian Romanesque style before being destroyed in 1941 during the London Blitz. The current building was constructed in 1958 on the same site.
The church functions as a community venue hosting concerts, art exhibitions, and educational programs. It supports local charitable work and remains a gathering place for the neighborhood.
The church is open during the week for services and welcomes visitors. The renovated garden from 2000 offers a quiet space to rest near the busy road.
A stone cross in the churchyard marks where a burning cross fell from the roof during the 1941 bombing. A Victorian drinking fountain in the same area stands as another reminder of the site's past.
