St John the Evangelist, Queens Drive, Brownswood Park

Near Finsbury Park, a semi-circular “flying saucer” design by Tom Hornsby dating from 1995. It replaced a 19th century church on the same site. The saints are reset glass from the former church, the other windows showing the Apocalyptic Visions of St. John are by Meg Lawrence from 1996 (apologies for one being a bit out of focus).

St Nicholas and All Hallows, Aberfeldy Street, Poplar

A Seely and Paget church of 1953-55, it closed in 1968 to be used as a store for vinyl discs and reopened in 1997 and repaired by Keith Harrison Architects (Tim Hornsby). The ceiling  is covered by paintings by Brian Thomas that were produced for a Lambeth Palace conference in 1948.
