St Paul's Church Lorrimore Square

The church features a distinctive folded roof made of plate timber and covered in oxidized copper, incorporating triangular shapes throughout its structure.

The original 1850s Gothic revival church was destroyed during the London Blitz, leading to its reconstruction between 1959 and 1960 by Woodroffe Buchanan & Coulter.

Inside the church, visitors can observe sculptures by artists Freda Skinner and Gerald Holtom, including the East end sculpture depicting the Risen Christ in Glory.

The building contains a community center at ground level and the main church hall above, serving multiple functions for local residents and visitors.

The exterior walls combine reclaimed stone from the original church with modern materials, featuring multicolored stained glass units set in perforated concrete.
