St Peter,Woolwich New Road, Woolwich (Roman Catholic)

On the south edge of Woolwich town centre, this is a church of 1842 by A.W.N. Pugin. The chancel and north-east chapel were added in 1887-1889 by F.A. Walters. It has been much refurbished inside with an extended narthex and in an interesting mint green colour scheme.

Cathedral of St George, St George’s Road, Southwark (Roman Catholic)

The original building was by A.W.N. Pugin and dated from 1841-48, but was under-financed and never completed to Pugin’s vision. However WW2 brought severe damage leaving only the aisle walls and east end, the rest is a post-war rebuilding by Romilly Craze from 1953 to 1966. Some Pugin fittings survive in the Blessed Sacrament chapel and the Knill chantry is by E.W. Pugin. Craze’s design added a clerestory and a new Lady Chapel.

   
     
   

St Thomas of Canterbury, Rylston Road, Fulham (Roman Catholic)

The church and churchyard are surrounded by houses built after the church. It is one of A.W.N. Pugin’s few London churches and dates from 1847-48.  A 2010 reordering has reinstated 19th century style decoration and seating and created an outer north passage beyond the north aisle.
