A domed circular building that is part of the Queen Mary University chaplaincy. Replacing a Ewan Christian building of the 1870s, destroyed in WW2, it was built 1961-62 and designed by Playne & Lacey. Inside the interior is decorated with the ‘Apocalypse of St John’, a sgraffito mural scheme of 1964 by Adam Kossowski.

Originally a proprietary chapel of 1834-39 by Daniel and James Austin. The chancel and east chapels were added in a matching style by Edwin B. Simson in 1910-1914. It soon became a parish church before becoming redundant in 1984. The New Testament Church of God took it over 1996 and meet in the hall attached to the east end. The church is now being converted into a community arts centre.
