Church of St John-at-Hackney, Grade II* listed Georgian parish church in London Borough of Hackney, England
The Church of St John-at-Hackney features a Portland stone tower, three-bay arcaded fronts, and Ionic porches at each of the four outer corners.
Built between 1792 and 1797 to replace a medieval church, the structure received its tower addition in 1812 under the direction of Robert Streather.
The building functions as both a religious center and performance venue, hosting major musical artists while maintaining regular Anglican worship services.
The church building accommodates 2000 people and stands near Clapton Square, with convenient access from Hackney Central station and Sutton House.
The interior contains a gallery supported by fluted Doric columns along three sides and houses an organ originally from All Saints, Ennismore Gardens.
