By the leading RC architect John Francis Bentley 1877-78 but incorporating part of A.W.N. Pugin’s earlier church on the site. A church whose interior is far more satisfying than its exterior.

St Columba, Pont Street, Knightsbridge (Church of Scotland)
The Church of Scotland’s premier London church opened in 1955, but begun in 1950, it was designed by Edward Maufe. It replaced a 19th-century church that was badly damaged by wartime bombing. The church is on the first floor and is impressively lofty. There is a memorial chapel to the London Scottish Regiment to the left of the sanctuary.
