St John the Evangelist, Upper Norwood, Gothic Revival church in Upper Norwood, United Kingdom.

St John the Evangelist features red brick construction with two western turrets and a clerestory above the central nave extending through its cruciform layout.

The church construction started in 1878 under architect John Loughborough Pearson, with consecration occurring in 1887 after securing necessary funding from Church Commissioners.

The church maintains regular Sunday services at 10:30 AM, incorporating traditional music, a choir program, and separate children's liturgy during mass.

The building opens daily from 8:45 AM to 5:30 PM, offering community activities including lunch programs, refugee support, and toddler groups.

The structure houses an 1882 organ that attracts classical musicians for recordings due to its specific acoustic properties within the stone-vaulted interior.
