St John the Evangelist, Clapham Road, Clapham

Just down the road from St Bede. An impressive but rather run down looking exterior. It was designed by T. Marsh Nelson and built in 1840-42. The church is only used for one weekday Anglican service but is also used by the United Pentecostal Church. During the week it is used by a charity the St John’s Community Development Project. The aisles have been converted to offices and the chancel is dominated by a giant screen that hides the altar and reredos as well as being used as a storage space. The font is locked inside a glass cubicle. Upstairs the galleries retain their box pews.
