St Michael and All Angels (Former), Bogard Road, Woolwich now (Church of the Pentecost UK, Jubilee Temple)
Sold in 2014 to a Ghanaian church called Church of the Pentecost UK. It stands high above Woolwich Dockyard station, the chancel is by J.W. Walters dating from 1875 to which the large nave was added in 1887-1889 by William Butterfield. In 1955 Thomas F. Ford added an aisle and a transept. Inside the chancel has been blocked off to create an office and storage area, but wall decoration and screens are intact behind the wall. I suspect there is a reredos, too but it was inaccessible on my visit.
St Michael, Abbey Wood Road, Abbey Wood
Serving the older part of Abbey Wood, south of the station. It dates from 1908 and is by Blomfield and Son.
