St Thomas's Church, Oakwood, Anglican church in Oakwood, London Borough of Enfield, England.
St Thomas's Church in Oakwood is a church building on Prince George Avenue featuring traditional architectural design with a green spire that stands out across the neighborhood. A parish hall and guide hut across the car park provide additional space for community activities and church functions.
Construction of the church began in the 1930s during expansion of the Piccadilly underground line but was interrupted during World War II and completed in the 1950s. This timing linked its development to major changes in the broader area.
The congregation follows Conservative Evangelical traditions of the Church of England, welcoming people to Sunday services and weekly community gatherings. The building serves as a center for neighborhood connections and brings people together for different occasions.
The location is easily reached from Prince George Avenue in a residential neighborhood with parking available nearby. Visitors should check what activities are happening on specific days, as the site hosts various community events beyond regular services.
Safety concerns led to the removal of the spire in 2010, which was successfully replaced in 2012 and restored the building's distinctive profile. This restoration was a significant moment for the local community.
