St John Fisher, Kidbrooke Road, Kidbrooke (Roman Catholic)

A short way south of the Anglican St James. It was designed by Bingham Towner Associates and built in 1964.

St George, Glenluce Road, Westcombe Park

A big church on the side of a steep hill. The lower level is a hall area now used by a Steiner School. Above most of the aisles have been divided off to provide smaller spaces. The current baptistry was added as a small sanctuary. The church was designed by Newman & Newman, dating from 1890-1991.

St Nicholas, Whetstone Road, Kidbrooke

Built in 1953 to serve a large estate in the east of Kidbrooke. The architect is not recorded.

St James, Kidbrooke Park Road, Kidbrooke

On the main road north out of Kidbrooke, this is a church of 1866-167 by Newman and Billing which had to be considerably rebuilt after WW2 damage.

St John the Evangelist, Stratheden Road, Blackheath

To the north of the actual heath and village, this church was built in 1852-53 by Arthur Ashpitel Inside the western end of the nave is divided off for rooms and offices.

Our Lady of Grace, Charlton Road, Charlton (Roman Catholic)

A church of 1905 by Eugéne-Jacques Gervais. It gained an outer north aisle in 1959.

St Thomas, Woodland Terrace, Charlton

Well to the north of the village this is a church of 1849-1850 by Joseph Gwilt. Inside the west end of the nave is divided off as a flat-ceilinged hall while the east end and apse are still used as a church with a curved ceiling added. Above these spaces, the building has been divided up into halls, from which the original timber roof is visible.

St Luke, The Village, Charlton

A rebuilding in brick, from 1630, of the medieval church. The north aisle is 1639, but the eastern sections were added in 1840 and 1873. The interior is chock full of memorial tablets and monuments, unfortunately, two of the largest are rather obscured by stored material.

St Catherine Labouré (Former), Woolwich Rd, Woolwich (Roman Catholic) now the Lithuanian Christian Church

Just outside Maryon Park on an industrial stretch of Woolwich Road west of Woolwich town centre. It was built in 1961 by Walters & Kerr Bate as a Chapel Of Ease to Woolwich. It has, in recent years, passed to the Lithuanian Christian Church.

St Michael, Pond Road, Blackheath Park

Designed to be part of the Blackheath Park estate to the south of the town centre. It is by George Smith and dates from 1828-1829 in a typical “commissioner’s” style, but with a very eccentric eastern spire.
