St George's Garrison Church, Military chapel in Woolwich, Royal Borough of Greenwich, England.
The church features Italian-Romanesque architectural elements with red and yellow brick walls, decorated with Venetian mosaics in the chancel section.
Thomas Henry Wyatt designed this garrison church in 1863 for the Royal Artillery, but a V-1 flying bomb strike in 1944 transformed it into ruins.
The remaining structure houses marble plaques dedicated to military personnel and Victoria Cross recipients, maintaining its connection to British armed forces.
The site opens every Sunday from 10:15, with extended hours from April to September, offering disabled access and limited parking behind the building.
The church features mosaics created by the Salviati workshop in Venice, depicting Saint George and ancient Christian symbols under a modern protective canopy.
