St Mary of Zion, Lower Clapton Road (Ethiopian Orthodox)
The church currently worships in St James Anglican church next door. In 2011 they acquired the Palace Pavillion nightclub that had closed in 2006 (formerly the Clapton Cinematograph built in 1910) to convert into their own church building. As of 2018 the work seems to be progressing slowly.

St Michael and All Angels, Fountayne Road, Stoke Newington
A church of 1883-85 by J.E.K. Cutts on the eastern edge of the common. The western bay was divided off in 1972. The 19th-century glass is by Heaton, Butler & Bayne. The Stations are hung as haphazardly as the images show, they are interesting in that they reflect the fact that the church has a largely Afro-Caribean congregation.
St Matthew, Mount Pleasant Lane, Upper Clapton
Originally the church hall for a 19th century church destroyed by fire in 1976.
