Gray’s Inn Chapel, Gray’s Inn, Holborn
An insignificant-looking exterior, it was rebuilt by Edward Maufe after WW2 damage. Pre-war glass survives as it was taken out for protection and includes windows by Selwyn Image and Christopher Whall.
St Bede, Clapham Road, Clapham (former)
Built as a church for the deaf by Edward Maufe in 1924. It became a social club run by the Royal Association of Deaf People but was for sale in 2014. A visit in April 2018 showed that it had been bought by the Cherubim and Seraphim Church (second two images). However, the basement halls are still (November 2023) used by Clapham Deaf Sports & Social Club. The upper two images show the side of the church in November 2023.
St Thomas, Boston Road, Hanwell
Serving the south of Hanwell, this church was designed by Edward Maufe in 1934. The crucifixion on the east wall, facing the road is by Eric Gill.

St Thomas Syriac Orthodox Cathedral (formerly St Saviour C of E), Old Oak Road, East Acton
A tall church (there are rooms at ground floor level and the worship space upstairs) not far off the Uxbridge Road. It was designed by Edward Maufe as a church for deaf people in 1924-27. It was owned and managed by the Royal Association for Deaf People but closed in April 2014 and it was in May 2014 being offered for sale. It has since (October 2016) become St Thomas Syriac Orthodox Cathedral (consecrated in November 2016). When this entry was originally written the Cathedral was in a modern building to the rear of this one.

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.
