Roman Catholic Church of St Peter

The church building features yellow London stock brick with Bath stone dressings, incorporating stepped buttresses and large traceried windows throughout its structure.

The foundation stone was laid in October 1842, marking the first public Catholic church ceremony in the area since the Reformation period.

The church served Catholic soldiers from the Royal Artillery Barracks and Irish workers from the Arsenal, creating a diverse religious community.

Regular services are held daily at 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM during weekdays, with four different Mass times available on Sundays.

This religious structure represents one of only three London churches designed by architect Augustus Pugin, though its planned tower remains unbuilt.
