Church of the Ascension, Victoria Docks, Anglican church in Victoria Docks, London, England.
The Church of the Ascension stands on Baxter Road in Custom House, featuring traditional ecclesiastical architecture with red brick construction and pointed windows.
Originally established as a mission hall for St Luke's Church in 1887, the current structure was built between 1903 and 1907, becoming a separate parish in 1905.

Visitors can attend services or contact Reverend Dave Chesney through the church office, with additional communication channels available through email and telephone.
Writer Mabel Knowles led the St Luke's Mission Church at Victoria Docks for 25 years, producing over 300 books while serving the congregation until 1949.
