St Luke, Alpha Grove, Isle of Dogs(replaced by a new building)
Not far from Canary Wharf but in a much less well known area of the Isle of Dogs, disused since 2012, when the church moved to worship in a local school. It was built in 1960 to replace an older church. A new church on the corner of Alpha Grove and Havannah Street was opened in October 2018, which I have yet to visit.
