Chapel, Lewisham Hospital, Ladywell
South of Lewisham town centre but very close to the old parish church. The hospital was built throughout the 20th century and the chapel is in one of the older buildings but is a very plain and simple space.
St Saviour and Saints John the Baptist and Evangelist, Lewisham High Street, Lewisham (Roman Catholic)
At the southern end of the town centre and visible from far off due to its tower topped with a figure of Christ. This tower was built in 1925-1929 along with a wide south aisle. The rest of the church was built in 1909. The whole building is by Claude Kelly and Campbell Dickie.

The Transfiguration (also called St Barnabas), Algernon Road, Lewisham now The Tabernacle
No longer in use by the Church of England, since 2003 it is has been used by an evangelical church as “The Tabernacle”. It is one of James Brooks’ large brick built churches for poor areas and was built in 1881. It was originally dedicated as Church of the Transfiguration but was renamed in the early 1940s when it became a “St Barnabas church for the deaf and dumb”.
