Epiphany Mission (Former), Bassano Street, East Dulwich now Church of God

Just off Lordship Lane, this is a mission church of 1908 by Nixon Horsfield & Sons. It was used as a church from 1908-1927 and 1941-1951, otherwise as a hall until sold in 1994. It is now used by the Church of God and a nursery.

St John, Goose Green, East Dulwich

Facing Goose Green north of East Dulwich Road. The church was built in 1863-65 by Charles Bailey but was badly damaged in WW2 and reconstructed and refurnished by Sebastian Comper in 1951. He added a clerestory and concrete vault and furnishings in his father’s tradition.

          

St Antony, Nunhead Lane, Nunhead now The Lighthouse Cathedral

Built as St Antholin by Ewan Christian in 1878. It was badly damaged in WW2 and rebuilt with a shortened nave and new west end by Laurence King in 1957-1958 at which point it became St Antony. It was made redundant in 2001 and sold to a pentecostal church and renamed The Lighthouse Cathedral.

 

St Thomas the Apostle, Evelina Road, Nunhead (Roman Catholic)

A small church, attributed to F.W. Tasker, dating from 1905 forms the chancel of a church with halls and offices of 1973-1974 by Wilman Partnership.

St Mary Magdalene, Dundas Road/St Mary’s Road, Peckham

The third church on this site, a church of 1839 was bombed out and replaced in 1961-62. However that building proved problematic and it was replaced in 2010-2011 by the current building. It sits on an island site and consists of a worship area and side chapel both separated by glass screens from hall areas. The architects were IID.

          

St Paul Mission (Former), Consort Road, Peckham

Built in 1907 by George Lansdown. It was only in occasional use for worship, being mainly used as halls. The last services were held in 1982 and it was closed as an Anglican centre in 1991. Since then it has been used by the Icthus Fellowship until 2002, and the Hooper Hall below by the New Testament Church of God from 1995-2000. It was then sold in 2002 to Christ Miracle Gospel Ministries. It is currently up for sale or lease.
