St Anne's Roman Catholic Church, Laxton Place

St Anne's was a church building with dark brick walls and seventeen tall windows topped by a copper roof. The roof structure was supported by prestressed concrete trusses that gave the building its distinctive form.

Cardinal Heenan laid the foundation stone in 1970, and the building replaced an earlier chapel from a former school on Little Albany Street. The new church was built to serve the growing community in the area.

The church served as a gathering place for the local Roman Catholic community and also hosted services for the Chaldean congregation at different times. It was an important spiritual center where people from different backgrounds came together for worship.

The building was located at the corner of Laxton Place and Longford Street, near Regent's Park and well connected by public transportation. The location made it easy for visitors to reach from different parts of London.

The building was demolished in 2019 to make room for new residential development, ending decades of religious use. People who remember the church often speak about its distinctive architecture and how much it meant to the neighborhood.
