St Andrew's, Croydon

St. Andrew's in Croydon is an Anglican church featuring a five-bay nave with a triple chancel arch and walls built largely from flint. Stone dressings accent the exterior, creating the building's recognizable appearance and structure.

Architect Henry Woodyer designed this church, completed in 1857 as a new building for the growing community. Aisles were added in 1870, expanding the original structure.

The church serves as a working place of worship where the local community gathers for regular services and events throughout the week. These gatherings shape how people use and experience the building today.

The church sits on Southbridge Road in central Croydon and is accessible for visitors interested in seeing the interior during services or community gatherings. Visiting during these times allows you to experience how the space is actually used by those who come regularly.

An electronic organ sourced from the Sultanate of Oman was installed here around 2012. This unexpected journey of a musical instrument connects the church to a distant part of the world in a surprising way.
