Church of St Margaret of Scotland, Roman Catholic church in St Margarets-on-Thames, England
The Church of St Margaret of Scotland is a Roman Catholic building on St Margarets Road in London that shows design features from the Liturgical Movement period. The structure provides space for community worship and includes the typical interior layout of a modern parish church.
The parish was established in 1936 to serve the growing Catholic community in this area. The building itself was completed in 1969 based on designs by architect Austin Winkley, arriving later than the parish's founding.
The church is named after an 11th-century English princess who became Queen of Scotland and was later canonized as a saint. This connection gives the place a link to medieval history and Catholic devotion that worshippers recognize in its name.
The building sits directly across from St Margarets train station, making it easy to reach. The church holds regular services, so visitors should check current times before attending a worship session.
The building received Grade II listed status in 1999 for its architectural significance, placing it under heritage protection. This recognition shows that the building is valued as an example of modern sacred design despite being relatively recent.
