Church of St John the Evangelist, Cardiff, Grade II listed church in Canton, Cardiff, United Kingdom.

The Church of St John the Evangelist is a listed church building with Victorian architecture that features a distinctive triple-gabled roofline and multi-colored stained glass windows. Inside, an octagonal baptismal font and ornate interior details characterize the space, with a notable spire rising prominently from the structure.

Construction began in 1854 with the main nave section and expanded with the addition of side aisles in the late 1850s. The spire was added in the early 1900s, completing the structure that stands today.

This church serves as a community gathering place and regularly hosts concerts and cultural events. The space brings together worship and artistic expression, welcoming local musicians and performers throughout the year.

The building is wheelchair accessible with ramps at both entrances, making it easy to enter for visitors with different mobility needs. The interior offers flexible space that works for both services and events, with an open layout that can be arranged in various ways.

Recent renovations removed the fixed pews to create an open and flexible interior space. This transformation significantly improved the acoustic properties of the building, making it particularly suited for musical performances.
